Famous quotes containing the word demon:

    “Oh demon within,
    I am afraid and seldom put my hand up
    to my mouth and stitch it up
    covering you, smothering you
    from the public voyeury eyes
    of my typewriter keys.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “The Demon arose from his wallow to laugh,
    Brushing the dirt from his eye as he went;
    And well I knew what the Demon meant.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “She had to lean away.
    She dared not stir a foot,
    Lest movement should provoke
    The demon of pursuit
    That slumbers in a brute.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
