Beginning

Famous quotes containing the word beginning:

    The beginning sets the rules.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The end comes when we no longer talk with ourselves. It is the end of genuine thinking and the beginning of the final loneliness.
    Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    It may be possible to do without dancing entirely. Instances have been known of young people passing many, many months successively, without being at any ball of any description, and no material injury accrue either to body or mind; Mbut when a beginning is made—when felicities of rapid motion have once been, though slightly, felt—it must be a very heavy set that does not ask for more.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
