Famous quotes containing the word bent:
“It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies.

“Still bent to make some port he knows not where,

—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
