Famous quotes containing the word august:

    “Why is it so painful to watch a person sink? Because there is something unnatural in it, for nature demands personal progress, evolution, and every backward step means wasted energy.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “What an occupation! To sit and flay your fellow men and then offer their skins for sale and expect them to buy them.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
    Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
    The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
    They buried us without shroud or coffin
    And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
