Wind Driven

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or driven:

    We profess
    Ourselves to be the slaves of chance, and flies
    Of every wind that blows.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)
