Moving Body Maintain

Famous quotes containing the words moving, body and/or maintain:

    I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    The water never formed to mind or voice,
    Like a body wholly body, fluttering
    Its empty sleeves; and yet its mimic motion
    Made constant cry,
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)
