Long Swords

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or swords:

“All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)

“And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,
And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross,”
