Keeping Up Appearances - Running Times

Famous quotes containing the words running and/or times:

“Tattoo-shops, consulates, grim head-scarfed wives;
And out beyond its mortgaged half-built edges
Fast-shadowed wheat-fields, running high as hedges,
Isolate villages, where removed lives
Loneliness clarifies. Here silence stands
Like heat. Here leaves unnoticed thicken,
Hidden weeds flower....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Times of heroism are generally times of terror, but the day never shines in which this element may not work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
