Famous quotes containing the words word and/or borrowed:
“The difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning- bug and the lightning.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The bugle-call to arms again sounded in my war-trained ear, the bayonets gleamed, the sabres clashed, and the Prussian helmets and the eagles of France stood face to face on the borders of the Rhine.... I remembered our own armies, my own war-stricken country and its dead, its widows and orphans, and it nerved me to action for which the physical strength had long ceased to exist, and on the borrowed force of love and memory, I strove with might and main.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
