Flames Won

Famous quotes containing the words flames and/or won:

    Out of a grave I come to tell you this,
    Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
    That flames upon your forehead with a glow
    That blinds you to the way that you must go.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    If a man has a talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has a talent and uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.
    Thomas Wolfe (1900–1938)
