End

Lane Kirkland Quote: “We must be part of the…”

We must be part of the general staff at the inception, rather than the ambulance drivers at the bitter end.

October 21, 2021 1922, American, Lane Kirkland, March 12, Quotes by Activists

Annie Besant Quote: “Jeremiah is a most melancholy prophet….”

Jeremiah is a most melancholy prophet. He wails from beginning to end; he is often childish, is rarely indecent, and although it may be blasphemy to say so, he and his ‘Lamentations’ are really not worth reading.

October 19, 2021 1847, Annie Besant, English, October 1, Quotes by Philosophers

Robert Herrick Quote: “Conquer we shall, but, we must…”

Conquer we shall, but, we must first contend! It’s not the fight that crowns us, but the end.

October 16, 2021 1591, English, Quotes by Poets, Robert Herrick

Herodotus Quote: “As the old saw says well: …”

As the old saw says well: every end does not appear together with its beginning.

October 13, 2021 484 BC, Greek, Herodotus, Quotes by Historians

James Laughlin Quote: “I think that concrete poetry seems…”

I think that concrete poetry seems to have, as far as I can see, come to a kind of a dead end. It doesn’t seem to be going any further than it went in its high period of about five or six years ago.

October 5, 2021 1914, American, James Laughlin, October 30, Quotes by Poets

Robert Sternberg Quote: “And if we don’t have a…”

And if we don’t have a test, what we may end up doing is going back to what this country has done before. We could use social class and we still do, but in the 50s, it was, do you have the right last name and are your parents in privileged positions?

October 3, 2021 1949, American, December 8, Quotes by Educators, Robert Sternberg

Matthew Prior Quote: “It takes two to quarrel, but…”

It takes two to quarrel, but only one to end it.

September 30, 2021 1664, English, July 21, Matthew Prior, Quotes by Poets

Sylvia Plath Quote: “My childhood landscape was not land…”

My childhood landscape was not land but the end of the land – the cold, salt, running hills of the Atlantic. I sometimes think my vision of the sea is the clearest thing I own.

September 30, 2021 1932, American, October 27, Quotes by Poets, Sylvia Plath

Floyd Skloot Quote: “In question-and-answer sessions after a reading…”

In question-and-answer sessions after a reading or during an interview, I forget the question if I’m giving too long an answer. And at the end, I can’t remember any of the questions. The more anxious I am about remembering, the more likely I am to forget.

September 29, 2021 1947, American, Floyd Skloot, Quotes by Poets

Nick Turse Quote: “Secret ops by secret forces have…”

Secret ops by secret forces have a nasty tendency to produce unintended, unforeseen, and completely disastrous consequences. New Yorkers will remember well the end result of clandestine U.S. support for Islamic militants against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan during the 1980s: 9/11.

September 29, 2021 1975, American, Nick Turse, Quotes by Historians
