Famous quotes containing the word wild:
“The colicky baby who becomes calm, the quiet infant who throws temper tantrums at two, the wild child at four who becomes serious and studious at six all seem to surprise their parents. It is difficult to let go of ones image of a child, say goodbye to the child a parent knows, and get accustomed to this slightly new child inhabiting the known childs body.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a mans nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.”
—Francis Bacon (15611626)
“As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye,
Or russet-pated choughs, many in sort,
Rising and cawing at the guns report,
Sever themselves and madly sweep the sky
So at his sight away his fellows fly.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
