Quotes About Movement

This extraordinary young woman does not photograph like a model (so many of whom seem unalive, unpleasant, and stupid), because her beauty is not fixed but the result of what she is as she moves and speaks.

Najbardziej zafrapowaÅ'o jÄ… to, w jaki sposób miasto siÄ™ porusza. Z oddali wszystkie jego ruchome elementy wydawaÅ'y siÄ™ podlega? jednemu prawu, niewidocznemu dla ?adnego z osobna. Rzecznymi statkami poruszaÅ' mocny kontrapunkt, mocny jak magnetyczna siÅ'a, wyczuwaÅ'o siÄ™ go tak wyra?nie, jak widziaÅ'o siÄ™ ich sylwetki. Ich zawiÅ'e kursy byÅ'y jak niewidzialne nici.

In the cool of the evening I take to the bridges over the creek. I am prying into secrets again, and taking my chances. I might see anything happen; I might see nothing but light on the water. I walk home exhilarated or becalmed, but always changed, alive. "It scatters and gathers," Heraclitus said, "it comes and goes." And I want to be in the way of its passage and cooled by its invisible breath.

I crossed Homewood and ran up the block. The joy multiplied as I ran--I ran never actually quite leaving the ground--and multiplied still as I felt my stride begin to fumble and my knees begin to quiver and stall.

I couldn't feel the pavement at all.
