Starts

Famous quotes containing the word starts:

    Every writing career starts as a personal quest for sainthood, for self-betterment. Sooner or later, and as a rule quite soon, a man discovers that his pen accomplishes a lot more than his soul.
    Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    And the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:
    Backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
    Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
    Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    With two thousand years of Christianity behind him ... a man can’t see a regiment of soldiers march past without going off the deep end. It starts off far too many ideas in his head.
    Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
