Famous quotes containing the words top and/or rope:
“Atheism..., that bugbear of women and fools, is the very top and perfection of free-thinking. It is the grand arcanum to which a true genius naturally riseth, by a certain climax or gradation of thought, and without which he can never possess his soul in absolute liberty and repose.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Arrogance rides triumphantly through the gates, barely glancing at the old woman about to cut the rope and spring shut the trap.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
