Home Runs

Famous quotes containing the words home and/or runs:

    he walks with me
    to the gate of Home and leaves me.
    I enter.
    Mother is gone,
    only Things remain.
    So be it.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir s’ennuïer.*
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
