Famous quotes containing the word strong:
“You thought you could be Mrs. de Winter. Live in her house. Walk in her steps. Take the things that were hers. But she’s too strong for you. You can’t fight her. No one ever got the better of her. Never. Never. She was beaten in the end. But it wasn’t a man. It wasn’t a woman. It was the sea!”
—Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
“You mustn’t give your heart to a wild thing. The more you do, the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods or fly into a tree. And then to a higher tree. And then to the sky.”
—George Axelrod (b. 1922)
“Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
