Famous quotes containing the word pause:
“Too often when you thought youd be showered with confetti
What they flung at you was a plate of hot spaghetti
Youve put your fancy clothes and flashy gems in hock
Yet you pause before your fathers door afraid to knock”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (18741946)
“It means there are times when a mere scientist has gone as far as he can. When he must pause and observe respectfully while something infinitely greater assumes control.”
