Soft Swap

Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or swap:

    Though now in her old age, in her young age
    She had been beautiful in that old way
    That’s all but gone; for the proud heart is gone,
    And the fool heart of the counting-house fears all
    But soft beauty and indolent desire.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned we’ll vote against.
