Upper

Famous quotes containing the word upper:

    “But that beginning was wiped out in fear
    The day I swung suspended with the grapes,
    And was come after like Eurydice

    And the life I live now’s an extra life
    I can waste as I please on whom I please.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    ““All men live in suffering
    I know as few can know,
    Whether they take the upper road
    Or stay content on the low....””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.”
