Famous quotes containing the word chain:

    “The years seemed to stretch before her like the land: spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring; always the same patient fields, the patient little trees, the patient lives; always the same yearning; the same pulling at the chain—until the instinct to live had torn itself and bled and weakened for the last time, until the chain secured a dead woman, who might cautiously be released.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “A chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “To avoid tripping on the chain of the past, you have to pick it up and wind it about you.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
