“Maybe it can stay 1-0 after the fifth and then it will downpour. Maybe (the remnants of Hurricane) Rita can speed up and pour on them, maybe make the game end there.”
Charlie Manuel
“There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.”
Charles Mackay
“"Upon shaving off one's beard." The scissors cut the long-grown hair; the razor scrapes the remnant fuzz. Small-jawed, weak-chinned, bug-eyed, I stare at the forgotten boy I was.”
John Updike
“A remnant of uneasy light.”
William Wordsworth
“All good was a remnant.”
G. K. Chesterton
“And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.”
Bible
