Famous Flames

Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or flames:

“My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Kick up the fire, and let the flames break loose
To drive the shadows back;
Prolong the talk on this or that excuse....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
