Lightly Wounded

Famous quotes containing the words lightly and/or wounded:

“A simple child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?”

“With his brows knit, his mind made up, his will resolved and resistless, he advances, crashing his way through the host of weak, half-formed, dilettante opinions, honest and dishonest ways of thinking, with their standards raised, sentimentalities and conjectures, and tramples them all into dust. See how he prevails; you don’t even hear the groans of the wounded and dying.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
