“The plunge in durable goods orders in January is entirely due to volatility in transportation. The underlying details of this report are much stronger than the headline.”
John Ryding
“The January revision is mostly due to the plunge in aircraft orders reported in the durable-goods numbers. In February, the index was pulled down by lower consumer confidence, higher jobless claims, shorter delivery times and lower building permits.”
Ian Shepherdson
“Those who can soar to the highest heights can also plunge to the deepest depths, and the natures which enjoy most keenly are those which also suffer most sharply”
Lucy Maud Montgomery
“Do not plunge thyself too far in anger.”
William Shakespeare
“The dominant and most deep-dyed trait of the journalist is his timorousness. Where the novelist fearlessly plunges into the water of self-exposure, the journalist stands trembling on the shore in his beach robe. The journalist confines himself to the clean, gentlemanly work of exposing the grieves and shames of others.”
Janet Malcolm
“The rainy Pleiads wester, / Orion plunges prone, / The stroke of midnight ceases, / And I lie down alone.”
A. E. Housman
“Plunge it in the depths; it comes up fairer.”
Horace
