Tired

Famous quotes containing the word tired:

    I concluded that I was skilled, however poorly, at only one thing: marriage. And so I set about the business of selling myself and two children to some unsuspecting man who might think me a desirable second-hand mate, a man of good means and disposition willing to support another man’s children in some semblance of the style to which they were accustomed. My heart was not in the chase, but I was tired and there was no alternative. I could not afford freedom.
    Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    The women rest their tired half-healed hearts; they are almost
    well.
    Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    We will not be put off the final goal
    We have it hidden in us to attain,
    Not though we have to seize the earth by the pole
    And, tired of aimless circling in one place,
    Steer straight off after something into space.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
