Resting Heart Rate

Famous quotes containing the words resting, heart and/or rate:

    I saw God! Do you doubt it?
    Do you dare to doubt it?
    I saw the Almighty Man! His hand
    Was resting on a mountain!
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    I that loved and you that liked, shall we begin to wrangle?
    No, no, no, my heart is fast, and cannot disentangle.
    —Unknown. Since First I Saw Your Face (l. 3–4)

    As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
