Passing

Famous quotes containing the word passing:

    I saw the spires of Oxford
    As I was passing by,
    The grey spires of Oxford
    Against a pearl-grey sky;
    My heart was with the Oxford men
    Who went abroad to die.
    Winifred M. Letts (1887–1972)

    Young poets bewail the passing of love; old poets, the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Reason” causes us to falsify the testimony of the senses. To the extent that the senses show becoming, passing away, and change, they do not lie.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
