Fed

Famous quotes containing the word fed:

“The Xanthus or Scamander is not a mere dry channel and bed of a mountain torrent, but fed by the ever-flowing springs of fame ... and I trust that I may be allowed to associate our muddy but much abused Concord River with the most famous in history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“You who desired so much—in vain to ask—
Yet fed your hunger like an endless task,
Dared dignify the labor, bless the quest—
Achieved that stillness ultimately best,”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)

“You went on with your dying.
Nothing could stop you. Not your son. Not your daughter
Who fed you and made you into a child again.”
