Fierce

Famous quotes containing the word fierce:

    Her heavenly form
    Angelic, but more soft and feminine,
    Her graceful innocence, her every air
    Of gesture or least action, overawed
    His malice, and with rapine sweet bereaved
    His fierceness of the fierce intent it brought.
    That space of Evil One abstracted stood
    From his own evil, and for the time remained
    Stupidly good, of enmity disarmed,
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    At night the passion came,
    Like the fierce fiend of a distempered dream,
    And shook him from his rest, and led him forth
    Into the darkness.—
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Crude thoughts and fierce forces are my state. I do not know who I am. Nor what I was. I cannot hear a sound. Pain is near that will be like no pain felt before.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
