Famous quotes containing the words outline of, outline, saint and/or helena:

    One by one objects are defined—
    It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

    But now the stark dignity of
    entrance—Still, the profound change
    has come upon them: rooted, they
    grip down and begin to awaken
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    A saint addicted to excessive self-abnegation is a dangerous associate; he may infect you with poverty, and a stiffening of those joints which are needed for advancement—in a word, with more renunciation than you care for—and so you flee the contagion.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl.
    Daisy Ashford (1881–1972)
