Famous quotes containing the words stand and/or began:
“The world is eaten up by boredom.... You cant see it all at once. It is like dust. You go about and never notice, you breathe it in, you eat and drink it. It is sifted so fine, it doesnt even grit on your teeth. But stand still for an instant and there it is, coating your face and hands. To shake off this drizzle of ashes you must be for ever on the go. And so people are always on the go.”
—Georges Bernanos (18881948)
“Once, when lying in bed with no paper at hand, he began to sketch the idea for a new machine on the back of his wifes nightgown. He asked her if she knew the figure he was drawing. Yes, she answered, the figure of a fool.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
