“When we deal with questions relating to principles of law and their applications, we do not suddenly rise into a stratosphere of icy certainty”
Charles Evans Hughes
“I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out.”
Stephen Wright
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
Washington Irving
“Jesus did. I was hopping along, when suddenly he comes and cures me. One minute I'm a leper with a trade, next moment me livelihood's gone. Not so much as a by your leave. Look. I'm not saying that being a leper was a bowl of cherries. But it was a living. I mean, you try waving muscular suntanned limbs in people's faces demanding compassion. It's a bloody disaster.”
Monty Python
“Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs, rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys, advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm, retreating to the corner of arm and knee, eager to be reassured, taking pleasure in the fragrant brilliance of thee.”
T.S. Eliot
“Many women have told me they remember where they were when they read the book, and how they felt suddenly that what they really thought or felt about things made sense.”
Carol Gilligan
“Sudden resolutions, like the sudden rise of mercury in a barometer, indicate little else than the variability of the weather.”
David Hare
