Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or reaction:
“A quick caress she gives the rose,
Lilac, geranium all in season . . .
Oh, if she might have seen a reason
For powdering her nose!”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
