Famous quotes containing the word stop:
“There were times when I felt that I could bear no more. It was the Emergency Ward which almost broke me. I stood one night beside a man who had been caught in a flywheel, and whose body felt like jelly. I wanted him to die quickly, not to go on breathing. Oh, stop breathing. I cant stand it. Die and stop suffering. I cant stand it. I cant.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (18761958)
“Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The Carriage held but just Ourselves
And Immortality.”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
The future might stop emerging out of the past,
Out of what is full of us; yet the search
And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
