Strong Weak

Famous quotes containing the words strong and/or weak:

    These are the clouds about the fallen sun,
    The majesty that shuts his burning eye:
    The weak lay hand on what the strong has done,
    Till that be tumbled that was lifted high
    And discord follow upon unison....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    His misfortune was that he loved youth—he was weak to it, it kindled him. If there was one eager eye, one doubting, critical mind, one lively curiosity in a whole lecture-room full of commonplace boys and girls, he was its servant. That ardour could command him. It hadn’t worn out with years, this responsiveness, any more than the magnetic currents wear out; it had nothing to do with Time.
    Willa Cather (1873–1947)
