Stopped

Famous quotes containing the word stopped:

    Here stopped the good old sire, and wept for joy
    In silent raptures of the hopeful boy.
    All arguments, but most his plays, persuade
    That for anointed dullness he was made.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    What we men share is the experience of having been raised by women in a culture that stopped our fathers from being close enough to teach us how to be men, in a world in which men were discouraged from talking about our masculinity and questioning its roots and its mystique, in a world that glorified masculinity and gave us impossibly unachievable myths of masculine heroics, but no domestic models to teach us how to do it.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)

    I do not, like the Fundamentalists, believe that creation stopped six thousand years ago after a week of hard work. Creation is going on all the time.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
