Fire Destroyed

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or destroyed:

    And she’d had lucky eyes and a high heart,
    And wisdom that caught fire like the dried flax,
    At need, and made her beautiful and fierce,
    Sudden and laughing.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    In the past, the English tried to impose a system wherever they went. They destroyed the nation’s culture and one of the by- products of their systemisation was that they destroyed their own folk culture.
    Martin Carthy (b. 1941)
