Upward

Famous quotes containing the word upward:

    There is a Restlessness springing from the consciousness of power not fully utilized, which must be present wherever there is unused power of whatever kind. This is the restlessness of the germ within the seed, struggling upward and downward towards its proper life. ... it is a striving full of pain, the cutting of tender flesh by the fetters of the captive as he struggles against their pitilessness.
    Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

    At the violet hour, when the eyes and back
    Turn upward from the desk when the human engine waits
    Like a taxi throbbing waiting,
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
