Famous quotes containing the word stubborn:
“I, who had heard of music in the spheres,
But not of speech in stars, began to muse:
But turning to my God, whose ministers
The stars and all things are; If I refuse,
Dread Lord, said I, so oft my good;
Then I refuse not ev’n with blood
To wash away my stubborn thought:
For I will do or suffer what I ought.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“Lord, the Roman hyacinths are blooming in bowls and
The winter sun creeps by the snow hills;
The stubborn season has made stand.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“That name for which you fought does it quite fit?
And is your stubborn silence only tact?
Boys wish to imitate who hear of it
But will you tell them to repeat your act?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
