Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or purpose:
“No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.”

“And the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:
Backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.”
