Famous quotes containing the word stands:

    “It’s a queer sensation, this secret belief that one stands on the brink of the world’s greatest catastrophe. For it means the fall of Western Europe, as it fell in the fourth century. It recurs to me every November, and culminates every December. I have to get over it as I can, and hide, for fear of being sent to an asylum.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
    And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “How did you get in the Navy? How did you get on our side? Ah, you ignorant, arrogant, ambitious—keeping sixty two men in prison cause you got a palm tree for the work they did. I don’t know which I hate worse, you or that malignant growth that stands outside your door. How did you ever get command of a ship? I realize in wartime they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. But where’d they ever scrape you up?”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
