Famous quotes containing the words angel and/or phase:
“An angel is like you, Kate, and you are like an angel.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
