Starts

Famous quotes containing the word starts:

“He turns agen and drives the noisy crowd
And beats the dogs in noises loud.
He drives away and beats them every one,
And then they loose them all and set them on.
He falls as dead and kicked by boys and men,
Then starts and grins and drives the crowd agen;
Till kicked and torn and beaten out he lies
And leaves his hold and cackles, groans, and dies.”
—John Clare (1793–1864)

“Our literature, despite several false starts that promised much, is chiefly remarkable, now as always, for its respectable mediocrity.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

“I could dance yet—only had a good fiddle—I like music. A good fiddle always starts the Negro, even if he’s old.”
—Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)
