Famous quotes containing the word shooting:

    “... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    “Power ceases in the instant of repose; it resides in the moment of transition from a past to a new state, in the shooting of the gulf, in the darting to an aim.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
    The shooting stars attend thee;”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
