Famous quotes containing the words burns and/or fellowship:

    It is because everything is relative
    That we shall never see in that sphere of pure wisdom and
    Entertainment much more than groping shadows of an incomplete
    Former existence so close it burns like the mouth that
    Closes down over all your effort like the moment
    Of death
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
