Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

    My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Every morn and every night
    Some to misery are born.
    Every morn and every night
    Some are born to sweet delight.
    Some are born to sweet delight,
    Some are born to endless night.
    William Blake (1757–1827)
