Famous quotes containing the words proposed, language and/or stocks:

    “It looks as if we may be presented with a kind of vast municipal fire station.... What is proposed is like a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a much loved and elegant friend.”
    —Charles, Prince Of Wales (b. 1948)

    “Like the train’s beat
    Swift language flutters the lips
    Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “In that sweet mood when pleasure loves to pay
    Tribute to ease; and, of its joy secure,
    The heart luxuriates with indifferent things,
    Wasting its kindliness on stocks and stones,
    And on the vacant air.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
