Middle Fort Ancient

Famous quotes containing the words middle, fort and/or ancient:

“A person taking stock in middle age is like an artist or composer looking at an unfinished work; but whereas the composer and the painter can erase some of their past efforts, we cannot. We are stuck with what we have lived through. The trick is to finish it with a sense of design and a flourish rather than to patch up the holes or merely to add new patches to it.”
—Harry S. Broudy (b. 1905)

“I never drink—wine.”
—Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

“I summon to the winding ancient stair;
Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
