Brought

Famous quotes containing the word brought:

    Since I was not bewitched in adolescence
    And brought to love,
    I will attend to the trees and their gracious silence,
    To winds that move.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    As in digging for precious metals in the mines, much earthy rubbish has first to be troublesomely handled and thrown out; so, in digging in one’s soul for the fine gold of genius, much dullness and common-place is first brought to light.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
