Minute Delay

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or delay:

“You don’t want a general houseworker, do you? Or a traveling companion, quiet, refined, speaks fluent French entirely in the present tense? Or an assistant billiard-maker? Or a private librarian? Or a lady car-washer? Because if you do, I should appreciate your giving me a trial at the job. Any minute now, I am going to become one of the Great Unemployed. I am about to leave literature flat on its face. I don’t want to review books any more. It cuts in too much on my reading.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

“Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
