Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

    We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Strong to break dead things,
    the young tree, drained of sap,
    the old tree, ready to drop,
    to lift from the rotting bed
    of leaves, the old
    crumbling pine tree stock.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Beauty is the moment of transition, as if the form were just ready to flow into other forms.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
