Follow

Famous quotes containing the word follow:

    Passion persuades me one way, reason another. I see the
    better and approve it, but I follow the worse.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    I could not follow your wishes, but I know
    If they assuaged you
    It would not be crying in this dark, your sorrow,
    It would not be crying, so
    That my own heart drifts and cries, having no death
    Because of the darkness,
    Having only your grief under my mouth
    Because of the darkness.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    It is a thorny undertaking, and more so than it seems, to follow a movement so wandering as that of our mind, to penetrate the opaque depths of its innermost folds, to pick out and immobilize the innumerable flutterings that agitate it. And it is a new and extraordinary amusement, which withdraws us from the ordinary occupations of the world, yes, even from those most recommended.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
