Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or fuller:

    The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
    Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees
    Is my destroyer.
    And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
    My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    You’ll meet men you’ll live on and men who’ll live on you, and those are the only men you’ll meet.... You’ll be every man’s wife-in-law, and no man’s wife.
    —Samuel Fuller (b. 1911)
