What is jump?

Famous quotes containing the word jump:

    I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
    And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
    He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
    And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)

    Thus twice before, and jump at this dead hour,
    With martial stalk hath he gone by our watch.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A baby is a full time job for three adults. Nobody tells you that when you’re pregnant, or you’d probably jump off a bridge. Nobody tells you how all-consuming it is to be a mother—how reading goes out the window and thinking too.
    Erica Jong (20th century)
