Swan/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words swan and/or behavior:

“The reason is:
rats leave the sinking ship
but we . . .
we . . .
didn’t leave,
so the ship
didn’t sink,
and that’s madness,
Lear’s song
that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
that’s swan of Avon logic.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“Reading about ethics is about as likely to improve one’s behavior as reading about sports is to make one into an athlete.”
