Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or raven:
“It is the same for all men. None of us can escape this shadow of the father, even if that shadow fills us with fear, even if it has no name or face. To be worthy of that man, to prove something to that man, to exorcise the memory of that man from every corner of our life—however it affects us, the shadow of that man cannot be denied.”
—Kent Nerburn (20th century)
“O, it comes o’er my memory
As doth the raven o’er the infected house,
Boding to all!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
