Boyd

Famous quotes containing the word boyd:

    We all want to be happy, and we’re all going to die.... You might say those are the only two unchallengeably true facts that apply to every human being on this planet.
    —William Boyd (b. 1952)

    Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;
    But twice unhappier is he, I lairn,
    That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.
    —Mark Alexander Boyd (1563–1601)
