Famous quotes containing the word passes:

    “we are the circle of the crazy ladies
    who sit in the lounge of the mental house
    and smile at the smiling woman
    who passes us each a bell,”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “That night was the turning-point in the season. We had gone to bed in summer, and we awoke in autumn; for summer passes into autumn in some imaginable point of time, like the turning of a leaf.”
