Ill

Famous quotes containing the word ill:

“The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Proclaiming what choices there are
For the last dancers of their kind,

For ill women and for all slaves
Of death,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“One of the hardest tasks is to extract continually from one’s soul an almost inexhaustible ill will.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
