Keeping Peace

Famous quotes containing the words keeping and/or peace:

“At worst, one is in motion; and at best,
Reaching no absolute, in which to rest,
One is always nearer by not keeping still.”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

“I sometimes wonder whether, in the still, sleepless hours of the night, the consciences of ... professional gossips do not stalk them. I myself believe in a final reckoning, when we shall be held accountable for our misdeeds. Do they? If so, they have cause to worry over many scoops that brought them a day’s dubious laurels and perhaps destroyed someone’s peace forever.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
