Moment

Famous quotes containing the word moment:

    After I have said what is required by my vanity and my morality, I may find a moment for Truth.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Do you mistake me?
    I am speaking of living,
    of moving from one moment into
    the next, and into the
    one after, breathing
    death in the spring air....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.
    Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
