Famous quotes containing the word burns:
“Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.”
—George Burns (b. 1896)
“An evil moon bleeds drops of death.
The earth burns brown.
Grass shrivels and dries to a yellowish mass.
Earth wears a dun-colored dress
like an old woman wooing the sun to be her lover,
be her sweetheart and her husband bound in one.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
“Meditate nothing. Learn to contemplate.
Contemplate glory. There will be a light.
Contemplate Truth until it burns your eyes out.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
