Brother Ned

Famous quotes containing the words brother and/or ned:

    I shun father and mother and wife and brother when my genius calls me. I would write on the lintels of the door-post, Whim. I hope that it is somewhat better than whim at last, but we cannot spend the day in explanation.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Where is the world we roved, Ned Bunn?
    Hollows thereof lay rich in shade
    By voyagers old inviolate thrown
    Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and Trade.
    To us old lads some thoughts come home
    Who roamed a world young lads no more shall roam.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
