Famous quotes containing the words sustained and/or winds:
“Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
“The poop was beaten gold,
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
