Impressive

Famous quotes containing the word impressive:

    There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
    —J.M. (James Matthew)

    There is something singularly grand and impressive in the sound of a tree falling in a perfectly calm night like this, as if the agencies which overthrow it did not need to be excited, but worked with a subtle, deliberate, and conscious force, like a boa-constrictor, and more effectively then than even in a windy day.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    So awkward was this May
    Then training to prepare
    Summer’s impressive lie
    Upon whose every day
    So many ruined are
    May could not make aware.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
