Reaching

Famous quotes containing the word reaching:

    And a man came out of the trees
    And took our horse by the head
    And reaching back to his ribs
    Deliberately stabbed him dead.

    Not only does every animal live at the expense of some other animal or plant, but the very plants are at war.... The individuals of a species are like the crew of a foundered ship, and none but good swimmers have a chance of reaching the land.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Not that success, for him, is sure, infallible.
    But never has he been afraid to reach.
    His lesions are legion.
    But reaching is his rule.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
