Longer Wing

Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or wing:

“My consolation is to think of the women I have known, now that there is no longer such thing as elegance. But how can people who contemplate these horrible creatures under their hats covered in pigeon-houses or gardens, how can they understand the charm of seeing Madame Swann wearing a simple mauve cap or a small hat surmounted by a straight iris?”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“The evils of mortals are manifold; nowhere is trouble of the same wing seen.”
