Dark Judge

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or judge:

    I cannot say what poetry is; I know that our sufferings and our concentrated joy, our states of plunging far and dark and turning to come back to the world—so that the moment of intense turning seems still and universal—all are here, in a music like the music of our time, like the hero and like the anonymous forgotten; and there is an exchange here in which our lives are met, and created.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Self-love makes our friends appear more or less deserving in proportion to the delight we take in them, and the measures by which we judge of their worth depend upon the manner of their conversing with us.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
