Fugitive Quotations
A string of excited, fugitive, miscellaneous pleasures is not happiness; happiness resides in imaginative reflection and judgment, when the picture of one's life, or of human life, as it truly has been or is, satisfies the will, and is gladly accepted.

Eric Hoffer Modernity signifies the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art of which the other half is the eternal and the immutable. Charles Baudelaire We can constitutionally extirpate slavery at this time. But if we fail to do this, then unless we intend hereafter to violate the Constitution, we shall have a fugitive slave law in operation whenever the war is over. Robert D.
