Moving Parallel

Famous quotes containing the words moving and/or parallel:

    There is no going back,
    For standing still means death, and life is moving on,
    Moving on towards death. But sometimes standing still is also life.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
