Famous quotes containing the words station and/or operations:

    “Say first, of God above, or Man below,
    What can we reason, but from what we know?
    Of Man what see we, but his station here,
    From which to reason, or to which refer?
    Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
    ‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
    ”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
    —Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
