Waiting

Famous quotes containing the word waiting:

    Brigid: You’re not ...
    Sam Spade: Yes, angel. I’m gonna send you over. But chances are you’ll get off with life. That means if you’re a good girl you’ll get out in twenty years. I’ll be waiting for you. If they hang you, I’ll always remember you.
    John Huston (1906–1987)

    Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.
    Don Marquis (1878–1937)

    Virginity is now a mere preamble or waiting room to be got out of as soon as possible; it is without significance. Old age is similarly a waiting room, where you go after life’s over and wait for cancer or a stroke. The years before and after the menstrual years are vestigial: the only meaningful condition left to women is that of fruitfulness.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
