Leap

Famous quotes containing the word leap:

    Sleep, beloved, such a sleep
    As did that wild Tristram know
    When, the potion’s work being done,
    Roe could run or doe could leap
    Under oak and beechen bough,
    Roe could leap or doe could run....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    As long as she is young and personable, every woman may cherish the dream that she may leap up the social ladder and dim the sheen of luxury by sheer natural loveliness; the few examples of such a feat are kept before the eye of the public.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    Our enemies have beat us to the pit.
    It is more worthy to leap in ourselves
    Than tarry till they push us.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
