Scattered

Famous quotes containing the word scattered:

“Thou blind man’s mark, thou fool’s self-chosen snare,
Fond Fancy’s scum and dregs of scattered thought,
Band of all evils, cradle of causeless care,
Thou web of will whose end is never wrought;
Desire! desire, I have too dearly bought
With price of mangled mind thy worthless ware;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

“The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.”

Uncanopied sleep is flying from field and tree:”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
