Longer Wing

Famous quotes containing the words longer and/or wing:

“When I heard the Earth-song,
I was no longer brave;
My avarice cooled
Like lust in the chill of the grave.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Love’s the only thing I’ve thought of or read about since I was knee-high. That’s what I always dreamed of, of meeting somebody and falling in love. And when that remarkable thing happened, I was going to recite poetry to her for hours about how her heart’s an angel’s wing and her hair the strings of a heavenly harp. Instead I got drunk and hollered at her and called her a harpy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
