Famous quotes containing the word breast:

    It is time that beats in the breast and it is time

    The mind that knows it is destroyed by time.

    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Venerandam,
    In the Cretan’s phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,
    Cypri munimenta sortita est, mirthful, oricalchi, with golden
    Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
    Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
