Movement

Famous quotes containing the word movement:

“What new thoughts are suggested by seeing a face of country quite familiar, in the rapid movement of the rail-road car!”

“I am haunted by interrupted acts,
introspective as a leper, enchanted
by a repulsive clew,
a gross and fugitive movement of the limbs.
Is this the love that shook the lights to flame?”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

“No great movement designed to change the world can bear to be laughed at or belittled. Mockery is a rust that corrodes all it touches.”
