Fell Van

Famous quotes containing the words fell and/or van:

    O, when mine eyes did see Olivia first,
    Methought she purged the air of pestilence;
    That instant was I turned into a hart,
    And my desires, like fell and cruel hounds,
    E’er since pursue me.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    On the farm I had learned how to meet realities without suffering either mentally or physically. My initiative had never been blunted. I had freedom to succeed—freedom to fail. Life on the farm produces a kind of toughness.
    —Bertha Van Hoosen (1863–1952)
