Straight Strokes

Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or strokes:

    Your stature is modelled
    with straight tool-edge:
    you are chiselled like rocks
    that are eaten into by the sea.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    It is the part of cowardliness, and not of virtue, to seek to squat itself in some hollow lurking hole, or to hide herself under some massive tomb, thereby to shun the strokes of fortune.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
