Slow Lines

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or lines:

“I am accustomed to think very long of going anywhere,—am slow to move. I hope to hear a response of the oracle first.”

“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
