Famous quotes containing the words bending, supply, curve and/or labour:

    It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
    Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
    Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
    Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
    Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
    But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    And out again I curve and flow
    To join the brimming river,
    For men may come and men may go,
    But I go on forever.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
    Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
    And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
    Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
    To labour and love though they lay down long ago.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
