Famous quotes containing the word fly:

    The force of the blow depends on the resistance. It is sometimes better not to struggle against temptation. Either fly or yield at once.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)

    who would fardels bear,
    To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
    But that the dread of something after death,
    The undiscovered country from whose bourn
    No traveler returns, puzzles the will,
    And makes us rather bear those ills we have
    Than fly to others that we know not of?
    Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
    And thus the native hue of resolution
    Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Sisters are always drying their hair.
    Locked into rooms, alone,
    They pose at the mirror, shoulders bare,
    Trying this way and that their hair,
    Or fly importunate down the stair
    To answer the telephone.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
