Famous quotes containing the word walking:

    Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Just walking around,
    An object of curiosity to some,
    But you are too preoccupied
    By the secret smudge in the back of your soul
    To say much, and wander around,
    Smiling to yourself and others.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    O who is glory in the shapeless maps,
    Now make the world of me as I have made
    A merry manshape of your walking circle.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
