Started Flying

Famous quotes containing the words started and/or flying:

    Helen: What do you do?
    Don: Yes, what do I do? I’m a writer. I’ve just started a novel. As a matter of fact, I’ve started several but I never seem to finish one.
    Helen: Well, in that case, why don’t you write short stories?
    Don: Oh, I have some of those. The first paragraph.
    Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
    The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
    Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
    How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
    I only know that all we know comes from you,
    And that you come from Eden on flying feet.

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
