Answered Prayers

Famous quotes containing the words answered and/or prayers:

    But jealous souls will not be answered so;
    They are not ever jealous for the cause,
    But jealous for they’re jealous. It is a monster
    Begot upon itself, born on itself.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    No prayers or incense rose up in those hours
    Which grew to be years, and every day came mute
    Ghosts from the ovens, sitting through crisp air,
    And settled upon his eyes in a black soot.
    Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
