Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:

    I only know that a rook
    Ordering its black feathers can so shine
    As to seize me senses, haul
    My eyelids up, and grant

    A brief respite from fear
    Of total neutrality.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalms, 8:2.
