Famous quotes containing the word waits:
“The sea curling,
Star-climbed, wind-combed, cumbered with itself still
As at first it was, is the hand no yet contented
Of the Creator. And he waits for the world to begin.”
—William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Like a frog, the aphorist waits for something to fly by that he can catch with his tongue.”
