Helen Wills Moody

Famous quotes containing the words helen, wills and/or moody:

    I wish I were where Helen lies,
    Night and day on me she cries;
    And I am weary of the skies,
    For her sake that died for me.
    —Unknown. Helen of Kirconnell (l. 37–40)

    But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master—something that at times strangely wills and works for itself.... If the result be attractive, the World will praise you, who little deserve praise; if it be repulsive, the same World will blame you, who almost as little deserve blame.
    Charlotte Brontë (1816–1855)

    Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
    The storm-wind’s moody madness—
    Within, the firelight’s ruddy glow,
    And childhood’s nest of gladness.
    The magic words shall hold thee fast:
    Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
