Leap

Famous quotes containing the word leap:

    Oh, give me again the rover’s life—the joy, the thrill, the whirl! Let me feel thee again, old sea! let me leap into thy saddle once more. I am sick of these terra firma toils and cares; sick of the dust and reek of towns.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    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)

    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)
