Walked

Famous quotes containing the word walked:

    She walked on, comforted by the surf, by the one perpetual moment of beach-time, the now-and-always of it.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)

    When Prince William [later King William IV] was at Cork in 1787, an old officer ... dined with him, and happened to say he had been forty years in the service. The Prince with a sneer asked what he had learnt in those forty years. The old gentleman justly offended, said, “Sir, I have learnt, when I am no longer fit to fight, to make as good a retreat as I can” —and walked out of the room.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    They dropped separately after the celebration,
    handpicked,
    one after the other like artichoke leaves.
    After that I walked to my car awkwardly
    over the painful bare remains on the brick sidewalk....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
