Catch Fire

Famous quotes containing the words catch fire, catch and/or fire:

    Many writers are neither spirit nor wine, but rather spirits- of-wine: they can catch fire, and then they give off heat.

    There is grey in your hair.
    Young men no longer suddenly catch their breath
    When you are passing;
    But maybe some old gaffer mutters a blessing
    Because it was your prayer
    Recovered him upon the bed of death.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    As I pursued my bodily functions, wanting
    Neither fire nor water,
    Vibrating to the distant pinch
    And turning out the way I am, turning out to greet you.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
