Creep

Famous quotes containing the word creep:

    The awful shadow of some unseen Power
    Floats though unseen among us, visiting
    This various world with as inconstant wing
    As summer winds that creep from flower to flower;
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    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)

    To motorists bound to or from the Jersey shore, Perth Amboy consists of five traffic lights that sometimes tie up week-end traffic for miles. While cars creep along or come to a prolonged halt, drivers lean out to discuss with each other this red menace to freedom of the road.
    —For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
