Flying Colours

Famous quotes containing the words flying and/or colours:

    Dreams pursue death as winds a flying fire,
    Our dreams pursue our dead and do not find.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    So different are the colours of life, as we look forward to the future, or backward to the past; and so different the opinions and sentiments which this contrariety of appearance naturally produces, that the conversation of the old and young ends generally with contempt or pity on either side.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
