Won Silver

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or silver:

    he was nothing to be won or lost.
    All lands to him were Ithaca: love-tossed
    He loathed to fraud, yet would not bed alone.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for ages or only for hours, nobody can say. But to sacrifice a hair of the head of your vision, a shade of its colour, in deference to some Headmaster with a silver pot in his hand or to some professor with a measuring-rod up his sleeve, is the most abject treachery, and the sacrifice or wealth and chastity, which used to be said to be the greatest of human disasters, a mere flea-bite in comparison.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
