Famous quotes containing the word fire:

    “The fire I praise was once perduring flame
    Till it snuffs with our generation out;
    No matter, it’s all one, it’s but a name
    Not as late honeysuckle half so stout....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    “Grandfather, you were the pillar of fire in front of the camp and now we are left in the camp alone, in the dark; and we are so cold and so sad.”
    —Noa Ben-Artzi Philosof (b. 1978)
