Stand Began

Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or began:

    He says he loves my daughter:
    I think so too; for never gaz’d the moon
    Upon the water as he’ll stand and read
    As ‘twere my daughter’s eyes: and, to be plain,
    I think there is not half a kiss to choose
    Who loves another best.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Before I had my first child, I never really looked forward in anticipation to the future. As I watched my son grow and learn, I began to imagine the world this generation of children would live in. I thought of the children they would have, and of their children. I felt connected to life both before my time and beyond it. Children are our link to future generations that we will never see.
    Louise Hart (20th century)
