Starting

Famous quotes containing the word starting:

    what most appals
    Is that tiny first shiver,
    That stumble, whereby
    We know beyond doubt
    They have almost run out
    And are starting to die.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    But even at the starting post, all sleek and new,
    I saw the wildness in her and I thought
    A vision of terror that it must live through
    Had shattered her soul.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
