Born

Famous quotes containing the word born:

    His awful skin
    stretched out by some tradesman
    is like my skin, here between my fingers,
    a kind of webbing, a kind of frog.
    Surely when first born my face was this tiny
    and before I was born surely I could fly.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It was easy to recognize in him the anti-social animus of a born evangelist, but there was also something else—a kind of voluptuous delight in the shabby and preposterous, a perverted aestheticism like that of a latter-day movie or radio fan, a wild will to roll in and snuffle balderdash as a cat rolls in and snuffles catnip.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
