Phoenix Left

Famous quotes containing the words phoenix and/or left:

    “Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion’s paws,
    And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
    Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
    And burn the long-liv’d phoenix in her blood;
    Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet’st,
    And do what’er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
    To the wide world and all her fading sweets;”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Zola: I need someone to remind me of the old, struggling, carefree days. Fighting for a foothold.
    Paul Cézanne: You can never go back to it. And I never left it.”
    —Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
