“Nothing knits man to man, the Manchester School wisely taught, like the frequent passage from hand to hand of cash”
Walter Sickert
“At the narrow passage there is no brother and no friend”
Arabian Proverb
“Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.”
Thomas Mann
“Perhaps what I do not manage to operate rapidly enough is the passage between the outside and the inside.”
Helene Cixous
“I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.”
Henry David Thoreau
“And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; / Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.”
Bible
“Time is not measured by the passing of years but by what one does, what one feels, and what one achieves.”
Jawaharlal Nehru
