Cruel

Famous quotes containing the word cruel:

    But cruel are the times when we are traitors
    And do not know ourselves, when we hold rumor
    From what we fear, yet know not what we fear,
    But float upon a wild and violent sea
    Each way and move.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Already the iron door of the north
    Clangs open: birds, leaves, snows
    Order their populations forth,
    And a cruel wind blows.
    Stanley Jasspon Kunitz (b. 1905)

    It is a cruel atmosphere down there, cruel and ruthless.
    Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
