Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things Fall Apart ; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

Quotes

  • liahas quoted2 years ago
    "We cannot leave the matter in his hands because he does not understand our customs, just as we do not understand his. We say he is foolish because he does not know our ways, and perhaps he says we are foolish because we do not know his. Let him go away."
  • liahas quoted2 years ago
    His life had been ruled by a great passion--to become one of the lords of the clan. That had been his life-spring. And he had all but achieved it.
