Straight Arrows

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or arrows:

    Maud Gonne at Howth station waiting a train,
    Pallas Athena in that straight back and arrogant head:
    All the Olympians; a thing never known again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am devoted to those who endured, like Colette. It is easier ... to kiss the world a bitter goodbye than to go on working, writing, changing, enduring the slings & arrows of outrageous aging. Colette endured. And she wrote & wrote & wrote. Whenever I feel really depressed, I think of her & keep going.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)
