Sentence Imposed

Famous quotes containing the words sentence and/or imposed:

    “I grow daily to honour facts more and more, and theory less and less. A fact, it seems to me, is a great thing—a sentence printed, if not by God, then at least by the Devil.”
    —Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    “‘Twas Age imposed on poems
    Their gather-roses burden
    To warn against the danger
    That overtakes lovers
    From being overflooded
    With happiness should have it
    And yet not know they have it.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
