True Flies

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or flies:

    We are bemused and crazed creatures, strangers to our true selves, to one another, and to the spiritual and material world—mad, even, from an ideal standpoint we can glimpse but not adopt.
    —R.D. (Ronald David)

    I have desired to go
    Where springs not fail,
    To fields where flies no sharp and sided hail
    And a few lilies blow.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
