Famous quotes containing the word walked:
“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)
“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 I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
