The Beginning Repeating

Famous quotes containing the words beginning and/or repeating:

    “What we call birth
    Is but a beginning to be something else
    Than what we were before; and when we cease
    To be that something, then we call it death.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “Alone with our madness and favorite flower
    We see that there really is nothing left to write about.
    Or rather, it is necessary to write about the same old things
    In the same way, repeating the same things over and over
    For love to continue and be gradually different.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
