Worn

Famous quotes containing the word worn:

    When the first-rate author wants an exquisite heroine or a lovely morning, he finds that all the superlatives have been worn shoddy by his inferiors. It should be a rule that bad writers must start with plain heroines and ordinary mornings, and, if they are able, work up to something better.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    There is no freedom in Europe—that’s certain—it is besides a worn out portion of the globe.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    I am worn out with dreams;
    A weather-worn, marble triton
    Among the streams;
    And all day long I look
    Upon this lady’s beauty
    As though I had found in a book
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
