Leaving Certificate

Famous quotes containing the words leaving and/or certificate:

“As words go crying after themselves, leaving the dream
Upended in a puddle somewhere
As though “dead” were just another adjective.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
