Leap

Famous quotes containing the word leap:

“Athletes have studied how to leap and how to survive the leap some of the time and return to the ground. They don’t always do it well. But they are our philosophers of actual moments and the body and soul in them, and of our manoeuvres in our emergencies and longings.”
—Harold Brodkey (b. 1930)

“I—love’s skein upon the ground,
My body in the tomb—
Shall leap into the light lost
In my mother’s womb.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Men know no medium: They will either, spaniel-like, fawn at your feet, or be ready to leap into your lap.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
