Hands

Famous quotes containing the word hands:

    Now mark me how I will undo myself.
    I give this heavy weight from off my head,
    And this unwieldy sceptre from my hand,
    The pride of kingly sway from out my heart.
    With mine own tears I wash away my balm,
    With mine own hands I give away my crown.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Oh, forgive me. Shaking hands with me is an unpleasant experience. My hands are no longer hands.
    Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)
