Reaching

Famous quotes containing the word reaching:

    The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    Slow, slow, as a fish she came,
    Slow as a fish coming forward,
    Swaying in a long wave;
    Her skirts not touching a leaf,
    Her white arms reaching towards me.
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    Not that success, for him, is sure, infallible.
    But never has he been afraid to reach.
    His lesions are legion.
    But reaching is his rule.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
