Pause Frame

Famous quotes containing the words pause and/or frame:

“Hours before dawn we were woken by the quake.
My house was on a cliff. The thing could take
Bookloads off shelves, break bottles in a row.
Then the long pause and then the bigger shake.
It seemed the best thing to be up and go.”
—William Empson (1906–1984)

“We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.”
—Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)
