Ready

Famous quotes containing the word ready:

    But that two-handed engine at the door
    Stands ready to smite once, and smites no more.”
    Return, Alpheus, the dread voice is pass’d
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    We construct our life for one person and, when finally we are ready to receive that person in our life, she does not come, then dies in our eyes and we live as prisoners of that which was meant only for her.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    I almost wished that I was still in prison. I felt I wasn’t ready to be out making
    decisions.... Even now over three years after my release, I can carry around fifty rand for
    two weeks and not spend it. I go into shops, but I find it hard to choose things.
    Feziwe Bookholane (b. 1942)
