Famous quotes containing the words scott and/or momaday:
“One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I saw a crow by Red Rock
standing on one leg
It was the black of your hair
The years are heavy”
—N. Scott Momaday (b. 1934)
