Free Throws

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or throws:

    The modern picture of The Artist began to form: The poor, but free spirit, plebeian but aspiring only to be classless, to cut himself forever free from the bonds of the greedy bourgeoisie, to be whatever the fat burghers feared most, to cross the line wherever they drew it, to look at the world in a way they couldn’t see, to be high, live low, stay young forever—in short, to be the bohemian.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    Yet still the miracles
    Exhume in each face
    Strong silken seed,
    That to the static
    Gold winter sun throws back
    Endless and cloudless pride.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
