Famous quotes containing the word tired:
“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.

And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“But theres always been rich and poor, and thats all there is to it. And us two wont change it, either.
The carpenter calmly puffs away: Only the ones that likes it ought to be poor. Let the others have a try at it first. I aint got no liking for it. A fellow gets tired of it after a while.”
—Alfred Döblin (18781957)
“When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with such applause in the lecture room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wanderd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Lookd up in perfect silence at the stars.”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
