Famous quotes containing the words june and/or escape:
“I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds and bowers,
Of April, May, of June and July-flowers;
I sing of May-poles, hock-carts, wassails, wakes,
Of bridegrooms, brides and of their bridal cakes;
I write of youth, of love, and have access
By these to sing of cleanly wantonness;”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“With some people solitariness is an escape not from others but from themselves. For they see in the eyes of others only a reflection of themselves.”
