Famous quotes containing the words full and/or talon:
“For a novel addressed by a man to men and women of full age; which attempts to deal unaffectedly with the fret and fever, derision and disaster, that may press in the wake of the strongest passion known to humanity; to tell, without a mincing of words, of a deadly war waged between flesh and spirit; and to point the tragedy of unfulfilled aims, I am not aware that there is anything in the handling to which exception can be taken.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“As well have a talon as a finger, a muzzle as a mouth,
as well have a hollow as a heart.”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
