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)

“When you’re born you don’t bring it with you; when you die you can’t take it with you.”
—Chinese proverb.

“We are all born marked for evil.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
