Savage Won

Famous quotes containing the words savage and/or won:

“The distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep, and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)

“A girl loves most often because she is loved,Mnot from choice on her part. She is won by the flattery of the man’s desire.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
