Famous quotes containing the words wild and/or oats:

    “Home from Guatemala, back at the Waldorf.
    This arrival in the wild country of the soul ...”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I rejoice that horses and steers have to be broken before they can be made the slaves of men, and that men themselves have some wild oats still left to sow before they become submissive members of society. Undoubtedly, all men are not equally fit subjects for civilization; and because the majority, like dogs and sheep, are tame by inherited disposition, this is no reason why the others should have their natures broken that they may be reduced to the same level.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
