Moments

Famous quotes containing the word moments:

    One of the few moments of happiness a man knows in Australia is that moment of meeting the eyes of another man over the tops of two beer glasses.
    —Anonymous. Quoted by Bruce Chatwin in “From the Notebooks,” ch. 30, The Songlines (1987)

    All the strong agonized men
    Wear the hard clothes of war,
    Try to remember what they are fighting for.
    But in dark weeping helpless moments of peace
    Women and poets believe and resist forever.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    The amelioration of the world cannot be achieved by sacrifices in moments of crisis; it depends on the efforts made and constantly repeated during the humdrum, uninspiring periods, which separate one crisis from another, and of which normal lives mainly consist.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
