Strays

Famous quotes containing the word strays:

    Experience has taught me, when I am shaving of a morning, to keep watch over my thoughts, because, if a line of poetry strays into my memory, my skin bristles so that the razor ceases to act.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Of course
    I can remember a man
    who strays from my heart
    for an instant,
    but when it’s a love I must force myself to remember,
    what’s the use?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    He who strays from the customary becomes a sacrifice to the extraordinary; he who keeps to the customary becomes its slave. He is condemned to perish in either case.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
