Blown

Famous quotes containing the word blown:

    Thus thinne and lean without a fence or friend,
    I was blown through with ev’ry storm and winde.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    They change, and we, who pass like foam,
    Like dust blown through the streets of Rome,
    Change ever, too; we have no home,
    John Masefield (1878–1967)

    Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
