Far

Famous quotes containing the word far:

    Far far from gusty waves, these children’s faces.
    Like rootless weeds the torn hair round their paleness.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    ‘Way down upon de Swanee ribber,
    Far, far away,
    Dere’s where my heart is turning ebber,
    Dere’s where de old folks stay.
    Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
