Forced

Famous quotes containing the word forced:

“I say this because there is an uneasiness in things just now. Waiting for something to be over before you are forced to notice it. The pollarded trees scarcely bucking the wind and yet it’s keen, it make you fall over. Clabbered sky. Seasons that pass with a rush.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“How it infuriates a bigot, when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions!”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

“Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
