Flying Blue Angel

Famous quotes containing the words flying, blue and/or angel:

    “And more I may not write of, for they that cleave
    The waters of sleep can make a chattering tongue
    Heavy like stone, their wisdom being half silence.
    How shall I name you, immortal, mild, proud shadows?
    I only know that all we know comes from you,
    And that you come from Eden on flying feet.
    ”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “So as to comprehend that the sky is blue everywhere one doesn’t need to travel around the world.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “But virtue, as it never will be moved,
    Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
    So lust, though to a radiant angel linked,
    Will sate itself in a celestial bed
    And prey on garbage.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
