Drift Nets

Famous quotes containing the words drift and/or nets:

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

    Methinks my life is a twice-written scroll
    Scrawled over on some boyish holiday
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The philosopher caught in the nets of language.
