Famous quotes containing the word wild:

    I must down to the seas again for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied.
    John Masefield (1874–1967)

    My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here;
    My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer;
    Chasing the wild deer, and following the roe:
    My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go.
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    All the intelligence and talent in the world can’t make a singer. The voice is a wild thing. It can’t be bred in captivity. It is a sport, like the silver fox. It happens.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
