Famous quotes containing the words supper and/or ready:
“People think that if a man has undergone any hardship, he should have a reward; but for my part, if I have done the hardest possible day’s work, and then come to sit down in a corner and eat my supper comfortably—why, then I don’t think I deserve any reward for my hard day’s work—for am I not now at peace? Is not my supper good?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“still I’m ready to believe perhaps
some lives
tremble and flare up there, four blocks away ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
