Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

    I have been born many times, a false Messiah,
    but let me be born again
    into something true.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Crazed through much child-bearing
    The moon is staggering in the sky;
    Moon-struck by the despairing
    Glances of her wandering eye
    We grope, and grope in vain,
    For children born of her pain.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Most commonly revolt is born of material circumstances; but insurrection is always a moral phenomenon. Revolt is Masaniello, who led the Neapolitan insurgents in 1647; but insurrection is Spartacus. Insurrection is a thing of the spirit, revolt is a thing of the stomach.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
