Famous quotes containing the words striped and/or volumes:
“I shall lie folded like a saint,
Lapped in a scented linen sheet,
On a bedstead striped with bright-blue paint,
Narrow and cold and neat.”
—Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)
“These volumes contain not the highest, but a very practicable wisdom, which startles and provokes, rather than informs us. Carlyle does not oblige us to think; we have thought enough for him already, but he compels us to act.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
