Fiber Pain

Famous quotes containing the words fiber and/or pain:

“I taught school in the early days of my manhood and I think I know something about mothers. There is a thread of aspiration that runs strong in them.

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

“None but a poet can write a tragedy. For tragedy is nothing less than pain transmuted into exaltation by the alchemy of poetry.”
