Famous quotes containing the words wind, compass and/or rose:

    What a woman says to her avid lover
    Should be written in wind and running water.

    To “give style” to one’s character—a rare and noble art! Those practice it who compass all that their natures present as strengths and weaknesses and then fit them into an artistic plan until every one appears as art and reason and even weakness enchants the eye.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I shall smile when wreaths of snow
    Blossom where the rose should grow;
    I shall sing when night’s decay
    Ushers in a drearier day.
    Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
