Famous quotes containing the words stop and/or sign:
“On the Times Square sidewalk
we shuffle along, cardboard signs
Stop the War
slung round our necks.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“When much intercourse with a friend has supplied us with a standard of excellence, and has increased our respect for the resources of God who thus sends a real person to outgo our ideal; when he has, moreover, become an object of thought, and, whilst his character retains all its unconscious effect, is converted in the mind into solid and sweet wisdom,—it is a sign to us that his office is closing, and he is commonly withdrawn from our sight in a short time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
