Wind Mills

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or mills:

    Day after day, throughout the winter,
    We hardened ourselves to live by bluest reason
    In a world of wind and frost....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
