Response Time

Famous quotes containing the words response and/or time:

“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)

“It is a truer truth, it is better and fairer news, and no time will ever shame it, or prove it false.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
