Strays

Famous quotes containing the word strays:

“Even in my own writings I cannot always recover the meaning of my former ideas; I know not what I meant to say, and often get into a regular heat, correcting and putting a new sense into it, having lost the first and better one. I do nothing but come and go. My judgement does not always forge straight ahead; it strays and wanders.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Of course
I can remember a man
who strays from my heart
for an instant,
but when it’s a love I must force myself to remember,
what’s the use?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

“Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
