Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or seed:

    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)

    Not one man is forgiven! East, West, North, South!
    I bite off their dingbats. Christ rots in my mouth.
    I curse the seed of my father that put me here
    for when I die there’ll be no one to say: Oh No!
    Oh dear.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
