Famous quotes containing the word wild:
“There was so much of the Indian accent resounding through his English, so much of the bow-arrow tang as my neighbor calls it.... It was a wild and refreshing sound, like that of the wind among the pines, or the booming of the surf on the shore.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“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)
“The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
Are their males subjects and at their controls:
Man, more divine, the master of all these,
Lord of the wide world and wild watery seas,
Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
Are masters to their females, and their lords:
Then let your will attend on their accords.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
