Wait Ten Minutes

Famous quotes containing the words wait, ten and/or minutes:

    To long for that which comes not. To lie a-bed and sleep not. To serve well and please not. To have a horse that goes not. To have a man obeys not. To lie in jail and hope not. To be sick and recover not. To lose one’s way and know not. To wait at door and enter not, and to have a friend we trust not: are ten such spites as hell hath not.
    John Florio (c. 1553–1625)

    Those times I mussed his curly black hair
    and touched his ten tar-fingers
    and swallowed down his whiskey breath.
    Red. Red. Father, you are blood red.
    Father,
    we are two birds on fire.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
