Minutes Long

Famous quotes containing the words minutes and/or long:

    Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a “Sing”, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the other’s arms, shoulders, and chest.
    —Administration in the State of Ariz, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    That demand of a given moment,
    the will to enjoy, the will to live,
    not merely the will to endure,
    the will to flight, the will to achievement,
    the will to rest after long flight.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
