Creep

Famous quotes containing the word creep:

    Every rational creature has all nature for his dowry and estate. It is his, if he will. He may divest himself of it; he may creep into a corner, and abdicate his kingdom, as most men do, but he is entitled to the world by his constitution.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    By right or wrong,
    Lands and goods go to the strong.
    Property will brutely draw
    Still to the proprietor;
    Silver to silver creep and wind,
    And kind to kind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    She sings of a sword so white,
    so luminous, that its own light
    alone must slay;
    she sings of a sword, a sword, a sword,
    and I creep away.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
