Drawn

Famous quotes containing the word drawn:

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“Pray, let us live without being drawn by dogs, Esquimaux- fashion, tearing over hill and dale, and biting each other’s ears.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“‘Tis sweet to feel by what fine-spun threads our affections are drawn together.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
