Turns North

Famous quotes containing the words turns and/or north:

    The sense of an entailed disadvantage—the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centred, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints
    Of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
