Bout Fatal Fury

Famous quotes containing the words bout, fatal and/or fury:

“All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“Alone he rides, alone,
The fair and fatal king:
Dark night is all his own,
That strange and solemn thing.”
—Lionel Pigot Johnson (1867–1902)

“Enthusiasm produces the most cruel disorders in human society; but its fury is like that of thunder and tempest, which exhaust themselves in a little time, and leave the air more calm and serene than before.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
