Steady

Famous quotes containing the word steady:

“Wild as it was, it was hard for me to get rid of the associations of the settlements. Any steady and monotonous sound, to which I did not distinctly attend, passed for a sound of human industry.... Our minds anywhere, when left to themselves, are always thus busily drawing conclusions from false premises.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“There, beyond the dykes

I heard wind flaking sapphire, like this summer,
And willows could not hold more steady sound.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)

“Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
