Famous quotes containing the words rushing and/or beat:
“The illimitable, silent, never-resting thing called Time, rolling, rushing on, swift, silent, like an all-embracing ocean- tide, on which we and all the universe swim like exhalations, like apparitions which are, and then are not: this is forever very literally a miracle; a thing to strike us dumb, for we have no word to speak about it.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“They burned with fierce love always to come near,
But honor beat them back and kept them clear.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
