Hardy

Famous quotes containing the word hardy:

    Yet I would bear my shortcomings
    With meet tranquility,
    But for the charge that blessed things
    I’d liefer not have be.

    Go earth-bound wilfully!

    I am the family face;
    Flesh perishes, I live on,
    Projecting trait and trace
    Through time to times anon,
    And leaping from place to place
    Over oblivion.
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Once victim, always victim—that’s the law!
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
