Wander Boy

Famous quotes containing the words wander and/or boy:

    But countless plagues wander among men; for earth is full of evils, and the sea is full.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
