Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

“Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“True, I am young, but for souls nobly born valor doesn’t await the passing of years.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“I was born and raised in a neighborhood called Noah’s Ark. If you didn’t travel in pairs, you just didn’t travel.”
—Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)
