Started

Famous quotes containing the word started:

    I started in to cry and call his name,

    Asking forgiveness of his tongueless head.
    . . . I dreamt the past was never past redeeming:
    But whether this was false or honest dreaming
    I beg death’s pardon now. And mourn the dead.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    I have started to say
    “A quarter of a century”
    Or “thirty years back”
    About my own life.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, The very rich are different from you and me.” And how someone had said to Julian, “Yes, they have more money.”
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
