Starting Tractive Effort

Famous quotes containing the words starting and/or effort:

    I feel the carousel starting slowly
    And going faster and faster: desk, papers, books,
    Photographs of friends, the window and the trees
    Merging in one neutral band that surrounds
    Me on all sides, everywhere I look.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Quickness comes from long sustained effort after rightness, and comes unsought. It never comes from effort after quickness.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
