Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    Coming to terms with the rhythms of women’s lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    But at the coming of the King of Heaven
    All’s set at six and seven:
    We wallow in our sin;
    Christ cannot finde a chamber in the inn.
    —Unknown. Yet if His Majesty, Our Sovereign Lord (l. 25–28)

    As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming in of spring is like the creation of Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
