Fixed Wing

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or wing:

    Our live experiences, fixed in aphorisms, stiffen into cold epigrams. Our heart’s blood, as we write it, turns to mere dull ink.
    —F.H. (Francis Herbert)

    the uncomfortable angels that rot
    On the slabs, a wing chipped here, an arm there:
    The brute curiosity of an angel’s stare
    Turns you, like them, to stone....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
