The Pilgrim Hawk QUOTES

1 " People as a rule do mean much more than they understand. "

― Glenway Wescott , The Pilgrim Hawk

2 " Life goes on and on after one's luck has run out. Youthfulness persists, alas, long after one has ceased to be young. "

― Glenway Wescott , The Pilgrim Hawk

3 " Back you fly to your perch, ashamed as well as frustrated. Life is almost all perch. There is no nest; and no one is with you, on exactly the same rock or out on the same limb. The circumstances of passion are all too petty to be companionable. "

― Glenway Wescott , The Pilgrim Hawk

4 " La juventud persiste hasta mucho después de que uno ha dejado de ser joven. El amor por la vida permanece indefinidamente, con menos probabilidad de ser amado, menos habilidad de amar, y con el aguijón de la pasión tan acuciante como siempre. El solterón envejecido no es tan distinto de un viejo halcón. "

― Glenway Wescott , The Pilgrim Hawk

5 " In marriage, insult arises again and again; and pain has to be not only endured, but consented to; and the amount of forgiveness that it necessitates is incredible and exhausting. "

― Glenway Wescott , The Pilgrim Hawk
