Drift Direction

Famous quotes containing the words drift and/or direction:

    “To drift with every passion till my soul
    Is a stringed lute on which all winds can play,

    Mine ancient wisdom, and austere control?
    Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
    Scrawled over on some boyish holiday”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The learned and the studious of thought have no monopoly of wisdom. Their violence of direction in some degree disqualifies them to think truly.”
