Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or man:
“Summer involves going down as a steep flight of steps
To a narrow ledge over the water. Is this it, then,
This iron comfort, these reasonable taboos,
Or did you mean it when you stopped? And the face
Resembles yours, the one reflected in the water.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Yet is every man his own greatest enemy, and as it were his own executioner.”
—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
