Moment

Famous quotes containing the word moment:

“It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. The fixed is a Mason jar, and we can’t beat it open. ...The fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. It is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and I hate it because at any moment I myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

“Fashion, by which what is really fantastic becomes for a moment the universal.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
