Famous quotes containing the word fierce:
“The anti-suffragist talk of sheltering women from the fierce storms of life is a lot of cant. I have no patience with it. These storms beat on woman just as fiercely as they do on man, and she is not trained to defend herself against them.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“A fierce unrest seethes at the core,
Of all existing things:,
It was the eager wish to soar,
That gave the gods their wings.”
—Don Marquis (1878–1937)
“... and fierce in each disk
of coarse yellow the archaic
smile, almost
agony, almost
a boy’s grin.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
