Famous quotes containing the word bravest:
“The great ship, Balayne, lay frozen in the sea.
The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
To the wild limits of its habitation.
These were not tepid stars of torpid places
But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
They looked back at Hans look with savage faces.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Even the bravest that are slain
Shall not dissemble their surprise
On waking to find valor reign,
Even as on earth, in paradise....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“Even the bravest among us rarely possesses the courage for what he really knows.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
