Moves

Famous quotes containing the word moves:

“An amoeba is a formless thing which takes many shapes. It moves by thrusting out an arm, and flowing into the arm. It multiplies by pulling itself in two, without permanently diminishing the original. So with words. A meaning may develop on the periphery of the body of meanings associated with a word, and shortly this tentacle-meaning has grown to such proportions that it dwarfs all other meanings.”
—Charlton Laird (b. 1901)

“Like a long-legged fly upon the stream
His mind moves upon silence.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
