Brave Wind

Famous quotes containing the words brave and/or wind:

    A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    . . . A widow bird sat mourning for her love
    Upon a wintry bough;
    The frozen wind crept on above,
    The freezing stream below.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
