Waited

Famous quotes containing the word waited:

    We all of us waited for him to die. The family sent him a cheque every month, and hoped he’d get on with it quietly, without too much vulgar fuss.
    John Osborne (b. 1929)

    I waited alone, in the company of orchids, roses and violets who—like people waiting beside you, but to whom you are unknown—maintained a silence which their individuality of living things rendered more imposing and in their chilly manner received the heat from an incandescent coal fire, preciously placed behind a crystal glass, in a white marble tub where it dropped, from time to time, its dangerous rubies.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    A bettre preest I trowe that nowher noon ys.
    He waited after no pompe and reverence
    Ne maked hym a spiced conscience,
    But Cristes loore and his apostles twelve
    He taughte, but first he folwed it hymselve.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
