Famous quotes containing the word coming:
“Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us—at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women’s movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums—what should they be? how should they act?—that became our uncertainties.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“It was strange: two personalities coming together can create a third, with each being different, yet together making up one they are surprised at separately.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“It whispered to the fields of corn,
“Bow down, and hail the coming morn.”
It shouted through the belfry tower,
“Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.”
It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, “Not yet! in quiet lie.””
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
