Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stay:
“And were an epitaph to be my story
I’d have a short one ready for my own.
I would have written of me on my stone:
I had a lover’s quarrel with the world.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“How easily we could spell if we could follow,
Like thread looped through the eye of a needle,
The grooves of light. It resists. But we stay behind, among them,
The injured, the adored.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
