Famous quotes containing the words ultimate, fight and/or night:
“That other one wanted to think his way to life,
Sure that the ultimate poem was the mind,
Or of the mind, or of the mind in these
Elysia, these days, half earth, half mind;
Half sun, half thinking of the sun; half sky,
Half desire for indifference about the sky.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Whoever won’t fight when the President calls him, deserves to be kicked back in his hole and kept there.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
