Famous quotes containing the words russian, black and/or sea:

—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“So I won’t hang around in my hospital shift,
repeating The Black Mass and all of it.
I say Live, Live because of the sun,
the dream, the excitable gift.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The word-coining genius, as if thought plunged into a sea of words and came up dripping.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
