Sentences with BRAKE (5)

Now to th’ ascent of that steep savage Hill _Satan_ had journied on, pensive and slow; But further way found none, so thick entwin’d, As one continu’d brake, the undergrowth Of shrubs and tangling bushes had perplext All path of Man or Beast that past that way: One Gate there onely was, and that look’d East On th’ other side: which when th’ arch-fellon saw Due entrance he disdaind, and in contempt, At one slight bound high overleap’d all bound Of Hill or highest Wall, and sheer within Lights on his feet.

Quotes with BRAKE (3)

The insanity of love, and that’s why you’re trying to drive away with the park brake on.
Helene Young Shattered Sky
I'm terrified of the thought of time passing (or whatever is meant by that phrase) whether I 'do' anything or not. In a way I may believe, deep down, that doing nothing acts as a brake on 'time's - it doesn't of course. It merely adds the torment of having done nothing, when the time comes when it really doesn't matter if you've done anything or not.
Philip Larkin Philip Larkin: Letters to Monica
Life without Freedom can't go far…it's like a Brake that stops a car!
