Wilder

Famous quotes containing the word wilder:

    I’ve never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for—whether it’s a field, or a home, or a country.
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    It was a hot afternoon and I can still remember the smell of honeysuckle all along the street. How can I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle?
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    Gaze on them, till the tears shall dim thy sight,
    But keep that earlier, wilder image bright.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
