Restless

Famous quotes containing the word restless:

“The twentieth year is well-nigh past;
Since first our sky was overcast,
Ah would that this might be the last!
My Mary!
Thy spirits have a fainter flow,
I see thee daily weaker grow—
‘Twas my distress that brought thee low,
My Mary!
Thy needles, once a shining store,
For my sake restless heretofore,
Now rust disus’d, and shine no more,
My Mary!”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“I’m as restless as a willow in a windstorm.”
—Oscar Hammerstein II (1895–1960)

“It is a great pleasure to escape sometimes from the restless class of Reformers. What if these grievances exist? So do you and I.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
