Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

“Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“Each man has an aptitude born with him. Do your work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Who’s born that day
When I forget to send to Antony,
Shall die a beggar.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
