Swans Won

Famous quotes containing the words swans and/or won:

“Holland is a dream, Monsieur, a dream of gold and smoke—smokier by day, more gilded by night. And night and day that dream is peopled with Lohengrins like these, dreamily riding their black bicycles with high handle-bars, funereal swans constantly drifting throughout the whole country, around the seas, along the canals.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)

“We are not won by arguments that we can analyse but by tone and temper, by the manner which is the man himself.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
