Wind Driven

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or driven:

    The wind speeds her,
    Blowing upon her hands
    And watery back.
    She touches the clouds, where she goes
    In the circle of her traverse of the sea.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    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)
