Famous quotes containing the words outward bound, outward and/or bound:
“Calling the traveller now, the outward bound:
O not for long, they cry, O not for long....”

“The outward is only the outside of that which is within. Men are not concealed under habits, but are revealed by them; they are their true clothes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We must remember when we speak of the “negativism” of the toddler that this is also the child who is intoxicated with the discoveries of the second year, a joyful child who is firmly bound to his parents and his new-found world through ties of love. The so-called negativism is one of the aspects of this development, but under ordinary circumstances it does not become anarchy. It’s a kind of declaration of independence, but there is no intention to unseat the government.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
