Tail Wind

Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or wind:

“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

“Your star, steel-set, keeps lone and frigid tryst
to freighted ships, baffled in wind and blast.”
