Savage

Famous quotes containing the word savage:

    “The great ship, Balayne, lay frozen in the sea.
    The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
    To the wild limits of its habitation.
    These were not tepid stars of torpid places
    But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
    They looked back at Hans’ look with savage faces.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Mother, I cannot mind my wheel;
    My fingers ache, my lips are dry:”
    —Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)

    “... actresses require protection in their art from blind abuse, from savage criticism. Their work is their religion, if they are seeking the best in their art, and to abuse that faith is to rob them, to dishonor them.”
    —Nance O’Neil (1874–1965)
