Famous quotes containing the words fortunate and/or son:

    The more cultured a man, the less fortunate he is.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    I cannot beat off
    Invincible modes of the sea, hearing:
    Be a man my son by God.
    He turned again
    To the purring jet yellowing the murder story,
    Deaf to the pathos circling in the air.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
