Famous quotes containing the word slowly:
“In my practice I’ve seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away. Only it happens slowly instead of all at once. I didn’t seem to mind.... All of us, a little bit. We harden our hearts. Grow callous. Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us, how dear.”
—Daniel Mainwaring (1902–1977)
“Mantled in grey, the dusk steals slowly in,
Crossing the dead, dull fields with footsteps cold.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
