Famous quotes containing the words pass and/or rates:
“My trance frightens them,
breaks the dance,
empties the market-place;
if I but pass they fall
back, frantically.”

“[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
