Star Starting Pitcher

Famous quotes containing the words star, starting and/or pitcher:

    “Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
    That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
    As obstinacy, both in men and women,
    Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
    And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
    To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “soon the birds and ancients
    Will be starting to arrive, bereaving points
    South.”
    —Louise Glick (b. 1943)

    “Indolence is heaven’s ally here,
    And energy the child of hell:
    The Good Man pouring from his pitcher clear
    But brims the poisoned well.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
