Upper Stagnation Point

Famous quotes containing the words upper and/or point:

    But that beginning was wiped out in fear
    The day I swung suspended with the grapes,
    And was come after like Eurydice
    And brought down safely from the upper regions;
    And the life I live now’s an extra life
    I can waste as I please on whom I please.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
