Famous quotes containing the words adventure and/or book:

“A man I praise that once in Tara’s Halls
Said to the woman on his knees, “Lie still,
My hundredth year is at an end. I think
That something is about to happen, I think
That the adventure of old age begins....””

Ping pong set and garage, but the thief
Stole everything like a miracle.
In his book there was a picture of treason only
And in the garden, cries and colors.”
