Famous quotes containing the word stepped:
“There are books so alive that you’re always afraid that while you weren’t reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?”
—Marina Tsvetaeva (1892–1941)
“When stepped on, the worm curls up. That is a clever thing to do. Thus it reduces its chances of being stepped on again. In the language of morality: humility.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I stepped from Plank to Plank
A slow and cautious way”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
