Beats

Famous quotes containing the word beats:

    Mind in its purest play is like some bat
    That beats about in caverns all alone,
    Contriving by a kind of senseless wit
    Not to conclude against a wall of stone.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Pale Death beats equally at the poor man’s gate and at the palaces of kings.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)

    Heaven, I’m in heaven
    And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
