Fought

Famous quotes containing the word fought:

“I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

“I sing what was lost and dread what was won,
I walk in a battle fought over again,
My king a lost king, and lost soldiers my men....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“If the Third World War is fought with nuclear weapons, the fourth will be fought with bows and arrows.”
