Famous quotes containing the words labor, day and/or hurricane:
“Ive studied now Philosophy
And Jurisprudence, Medicine
And even, alas! Theology
From end to end with labor keen;
And here, poor fool! with all my lore
I stand, no wiser than before.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (17491832)
“Half-opening her lips to the frosts morning sigh, how strangely the rose has smiled on a swift-fleeting day of September!
How audacious it is to advance in stately manner before the blue-tit fluttering in the shrubs that have long lost their leaves, like a queen with the springs greeting on her lips;
to bloom with steadfast hope that, parted from the cold flower-bed, she may be the last to cling, intoxicated, to a young hostesss breast.”
—Afanasi Fet (18201892)
“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
