Straight Arrows

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or arrows:

“A straight oar looks bent in the water. What matters is not merely that we see things but how we see them.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“‘Tis chastity, my brother, chastity.
She that has that is clad in complete steel,
And like a quivered nymph with arrows keen
May trace huge forests and unharbored heaths,
Infamous hills and sandy perilous wilds,
Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
No savage fierce, bandit, or mountaineer
Will dare to soil her virgin purity.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
