Famous quotes containing the words calmly, walk, april and/or day:

    There’s only one way for an individual to remain upright, not to fall to pieces, not to sink into the mire of self-oblivion ... or self-contempt. That’s calmly to turn away from everything, to say, “Enough!” and, folding one’s useless arms across one’s empty breast, to retain the ultimate, the sole attainable virtue, the virtue of recognizing one’s own insignificance.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    ... the one thing that everybody wants is to be free, to talk to eat to drink to walk to think, to please, to wish, and to do it now.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Such comfort as do lusty young men feel
    When well-apparelled April on the heel
    Of limping winter treads.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    To lift, to fetch, to drive, to shed, to pen,
    Are acts I recognize, with all they mean
    Of shepherding the unruly, for a kind of
    Controlled woolgathering is my work too.
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
