Running Powers

Famous quotes containing the words running and/or powers:

    It is moot whether there be divinities
    As I finish this play by Webster:
    The street-cars are still running however
    And the katharsis fades in the warm water of a yawn.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Dear to us are those who love us, the swift moments we spend with them are a compensation for a great deal of misery; they enlarge our life;Mbut dearer are those who reject us as unworthy, for they add another life: they build a heaven before us, whereof we had not dreamed, and thereby supply to us new powers out of the recesses of the spirit, and urge us to new and unattempted performances.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
