Famous quotes containing the words returned and/or members:
“Passionate grave thought,
belief enhanced,
ritual returned and magic.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The damned are in the abyss of Hell, as within a woeful city, where they suffer unspeakable torments, in all their senses and members, because as they have employed all their senses and their members in sinning, so shall they suffer in each of them the punishment due to sin.”
—St. Francis De Sales (1567–1622)
