Famous quotes containing the words wind, generation and/or facility:
“A cold and searching wind drives away all contagion, and nothing can withstand it but what has a virtue in it, and accordingly, whatever we meet with in cold and bleak places, as the tops of mountains, we respect for a sort of sturdy innocence, a Puritan toughness. All things beside seem to be called in for shelter, and what stays out must be part of the original frame of the universe, and of such valor as God himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“I think one of the nicest things that we created as a generation was just the fact that we could say, Hey, I dont like white people.”
—Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
“Virtue rejects facility to be her companion.... She requires a craggy, rough and thorny way.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
