Famous quotes containing the words design and/or steps:
“Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.”

“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
