Famous quotes containing the words baby and/or smiles:
“My faith
is a great weight
hung on a small wire,
as doth the spider
hang her baby on a thin web.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Carlyle’s humor is vigorous and titanic, and has more sense in it than the sober philosophy of many another. It is not to be disposed of by laughter and smiles merely; it gets to be too serious for that: only they may laugh who are not hit by it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
