Bertrand Russell
Image
Chasing an errant swarm of bees is nothing to following a naked lunatic when the fit of escaping is upon him!
Bram Stoker
Image
The world's male chivalry has perished out, but women are knights-errant to the last and, if Cervantes had been greater still, he had made his Don a Donna.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Image
When fishes flew and forests walked And figs grew upon thorn, Some moment when the moon was blood Then surely I was born. With monstrous head and sickening cry And ears like errant wings, The devil's walking parody On all four-footed things.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
In that you're wrong. I choose, I adhere, I pursue, I commit, I attain. That - that, my errant friend - is an absolute. - Hawk
Karen Marie Moning
Image
We are not responsible for the behavior of anyone that goes contrary to what we teach, any more than the Pope of Rome or the Archbishop of Canterbury or a religious leader who teaches moral law and values can be charged with the errant behavior of a parishioner or congregant who may violate their moral teachings. That is on the individual.
Louis Farrakhan
Image
A knight errant who turns mad for a reason deserves neither merit nor thanks. The thing is to do it without cause
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
Thus the good christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make false prophecies, however much they may in fact speak the truth lest, being in league with the devil, they may deceive errant souls into making common cause.
Saint Augustine

Each feminist work has tended to be received as if it emerged from nowhere as if each one of us had lived, thought, and worked without any historical past or contextual present. This is one of the ways in which women's work and thinking has been made to seem sporadic, errant, orphaned of any tradition of its own.
Adrienne Rich
Image
The judge is not the knight-errant, roaming at will in pursuit of his own ideal of beauty or of goodness.
Benjamin Cardozo
Image
No opinion has ever been too errant to become a creed.
Bertrand Russell
Image
It was the look you get when facing a sudden and insurmountable danger: the errant truck, the shaky ladder, the crazy person who pins you to the linoleum and insists, with increasing urgency, that everything you know and love can be undone by a grape.
David Sedaris
Image
You could adjust the punishment to fit the infraction. Even a small fine would be enough to bring an errant government to heel.
George Soros
Image
My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
Hilary Mantel
Image
An errant May-fly swerved unsteadily athwart the current in the intoxicated fashion affected by young bloods of May-flies seeing life. A swirl of water and a 'cloop!' and the May-fly was visible no more
Kenneth Grahame
Image
Much of my crying is for joy and wonder rather than for pain. A trumpet's wailing, a wind's warm breath, the chink of a bell on an errant lamb, the smoke from a candle just spent, first light, twilight, firelight. Everyday beauty. I cry for how life intoxicates. And maybe just a little for how swiftly it runs.
Marlena De Blasi
Image
Many cults start off with high ideals that get corrupted by leaders or their board of advisors who become power-hungry and dominate and control members lives. No group with high ideals starts off as a cult they become one when their errant ways are exposed.
Philip Zimbardo
Image
All my days I have longed equally to travel the right road and to take my own errant path.
Sigrid Undset
