Famous quotes containing the words eleventh and/or century:

    I was thinking of a son.
    The womb is not a clock
    nor a bell tolling,
    but in the eleventh month of its life
    I feel the November
    of the body as well as of the calendar.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    To talk without thinking is to shoot without aiming.
    —18th century English proverb.
