Famous quotes containing the words earth and/or love:

    I repeat, sir, that in whatever position you place a woman she is an ornament to society and a treasure to the world. As a sweetheart, she has few equals and no superiors; as a cousin, she is convenient; as a wealthy grandmother with an incurable distemper, she is precious; as a wet-nurse, she has no equal among men. What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Tonight they have stepped out onto the gravel.
    The party is over. It’s the fall
    Of 1931. They love each other still.
    James Merrill (b. 1926)
