Starts

Famous quotes containing the word starts:

“And the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:

Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“A man may take care of a furnace for twenty-five years and still forget to duck his head when he starts going down the cellar stairs.”
