Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or dates:

    “I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire
    What thou dost foist upon us that is old,”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
