Famous quotes containing the words acute and/or accents:
“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
“Let others sing of knights and paladins
In aged accents and untimely words,
Paint shadows, in imaginary lines,”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
