Famous quotes containing the words arrows and/or dark:

    I am devoted to those who endured, like Colette. It is easier ... to kiss the world a bitter goodbye than to go on working, writing, changing, enduring the slings & arrows of outrageous aging. Colette endured. And she wrote & wrote & wrote. Whenever I feel really depressed, I think of her & keep going.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)

    How it infuriates a bigot, when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions!
    Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
