Famous quotes containing the words scott and/or nearing:

    Only remember—west of the Mississippi it’s a little more look, see, act. A little less rationalize, comment, talk.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
    The mist in my face,
    When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
    I am nearing the place,
    The power of the night, the press of the storm,
    The post of the foe;
    Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
    Yet the strong man must go:
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)
