Famous quotes containing the words bidding and/or process:
“A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A process in the weather of the world
Turns ghost to ghost; each mothered child
Sits in their double shade.
A process blows the moon into the sun,
Pulls down the shabby curtains of the skin;
And the heart gives up its dead.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
