Moves

Famous quotes containing the word moves:

“An amoeba is a formless thing which takes many shapes. It moves by thrusting out an arm, and flowing into the arm. It multiplies by pulling itself in two, without permanently diminishing the original. So with words. A meaning may develop on the periphery of the body of meanings associated with a word, and shortly this tentacle-meaning has grown to such proportions that it dwarfs all other meanings.”
—Charlton Laird (b. 1901)

“... moving on the shuttle toward death
just as my mind moves over
for its own little death.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
