Called Wind

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or wind:

“All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called “facts.” They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain. Who does not know fellows that always have an ill-conditioned fact or two that they lead after them into decent company like so many bull-dogs, ready to let them slip at every ingenious suggestion, or convenient generalization, or pleasant fancy? I allow no “facts” at this table.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)

“The way leads to freedom, to freedom it goes. The old world must crumble. Awake, wind of dawn!”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
