Moves

Famous quotes containing the word moves:

    What is this love that more than all the cursed deadly or any other of its great movers so moves the soul and soul what is this soul that more than by any of its great movers is by love so moved?
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    Desire without knowledge is not good, and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way.
    Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 19:2.

    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)
