Famous quotes containing the word pray:
“As I pass down the corridor
past desperate faces at each cell,
your eyes and my eyes may meet.
You will be dark, unkempt,
but I pray for one glimpse of your face
why do I want this?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“For I pray that God will digest me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Pray for me! I reckon if she knowed me she’d take a job that was more nearer her size. But I bet she done it, just the same—she was just the kind. She had the grit to pray for Judus if she took the notion.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
