Famous quotes containing the words sour and/or challenge:
“I stand on top
of our back steps and breathe the rich air—
a mother skunk with her column of kittens swills the garbage pail.
She jabs her wedge-head in a cup
of sour cream, drops her ostrich tail,
and will not scare.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“People seek a challenge just as fire seeks to flame.”
—Chinese proverb.
