Moved

Famous quotes containing the word moved:

“...I scarcely am able to govern my muscles, when I see a man start with eager, and serious solicitude, to lift a handkerchief, or shut a door, when the lady could have done it herself, had she only moved a pace or two.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

“He moved with the shades of the dead and the dead-born and the unborn and the never-to-be-born, in a Limbo purged of desire.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“The most intellectual of men are moved quite as much by the circumstances which they are used to as by their own will. The active voluntary part of a man is very small, and if it were not economised by a sleepy kind of habit, its results would be null.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
