Famous quotes containing the words winged and/or victory:
“But at my back I always hear
Time’s winged chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found,
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song: then worms shall try
That long preserved virginity:
And your quaint honor turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust:
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
