Famous quotes containing the word stop:
“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)
“I dont go that fast in practice, because I need the excitement of the race, the adrenalin. The others might train more and be in better shape, but when Im racing, I put winning before everything else. I dont stop until the world gets gray and fuzzy around the edges.”
—Candi Clark (b. c. 1950)
“When a man of sense happens to be in that disagreeable situation in which he is obliged to ask himself more than once, What shall I do? he will answer himself, Nothing. When his reason points out to him no good way, he will stop short, and wait for light. A little busy mind runs on at all events, must be doing; and, like a blind horse, fears no dangers, because he sees none. Il faut scavoir sennuïer.*”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
