Fierce

Famous quotes containing the word fierce:

    What rein can hold licentious wickedness
    When down the hill he holds his fierce career?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)

    White ... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black.... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
