Pause

Famous quotes containing the word pause:

“Here I pause in my sojourning, giving thanks for having come,
come to trust, at every turning, God will guide me safely home.

Came to rescue me from danger, precious presence, precious blood.”
—Robert Robinson (1735–1790)

“poems direct as what the birds said,
hard as a floor, sound as a bench,
mysterious as the silence when the tailor
would pause with his needle in the air.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“It means there are times when a mere scientist has gone as far as he can. When he must pause and observe respectfully while something infinitely greater assumes control.”
