Famous quotes containing the words temperate and/or perch:

    The man who is aware of himself is henceforward independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and through with a profound yet temperate happiness. He alone lives, while other people, slaves of ceremony, let life slip past them in a kind of dream.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “Woman is mannes joy and all his bliss.”
    For when I feel a-night your softe side,
    Albeit that I may not on you ride,
    For that our perch is made so narrowe, alas!
    I am so full of joy and of solace
    That I defye bothe sweven and dream.’
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
