Famous quotes containing the word agitated:
“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“We make ourselves a place apart
Behind light words that tease and flout,
But oh, the agitated heart
Till someone really find us out.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“To certain temperaments, especially when previously agitated by any deep feeling, there is perhaps nothing more exasperating, and which sooner explodes all self-command, than the coarse, jeering insolence of a porter, cabman, or hack-driver.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
