Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or phoenix:
“No matter how deep and dark your pit, how dank your shroud,
Their heads are heroically unbloody and unbowed.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
