Famous quotes containing the words heel and/or turns:
“Fair is the world.
I sing. The ache
up from heel to knee
of the weights
gives to the song its
ground bass.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“But ‘tis a common proof
That lowliness is young ambition’s ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face;
But when he once attains the upmost round
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
