Attending

Famous quotes containing the word attending:

    Let us distinguish between acting intentionally and acting deliberately or on purpose, as far as this can be done by attending to what language can teach us.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    The intent escalator lifts a serenade
    Stilly
    Of shoes, umbrellas, each eye attending its shoe, then
    Bolting outright somewhere above where streets
    Burst suddenly in rain. . . .
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    ... it seems to have been my luck to stumble into various forms of progress, to which I have been of the smallest possible use; yet for whose sake I have suffered the discomfort attending all action in moral improvements, without the happiness of knowing that this was clearly quite worth while.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
