Waiting

Famous quotes containing the word waiting:

    I was a fire-breathing Catholic C.O.,
    and made my manic statement,
    telling off the state and president, and then
    sat waiting sentence in the bull pen
    beside a Negro boy with curlicues
    of marijuana in his hair.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    What is the waiting head doing? It looks the same.
    Will it lean forward as I turn to go?
    I think I can hear it call to me below
    but no one came no one came.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Do not be deceived! The busiest people harbor the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness—they no longer have the capacity for waiting and idleness.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
