Famous quotes containing the words wilbur and/or cross:

    “It is always a matter, my darling,
    Of life or death, as I had forgotten. I wish
    What I wished you before, but harder.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “There is the grand truth about Nathaniel Hawthorne. He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes. For all men who say yes, lie; and all men who say no,—why, they are in the happy condition of judicious, unincumbered travellers in Europe; they cross the frontiers into Eternity with nothing but a carpet-bag,—that is to say, the Ego. Whereas those yes-gentry, they travel with heaps of baggage, and, damn them! they will never get through the Custom House.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
