Dark Hand

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or hand:

“I remember meeting you in a dark dream

The necklace of wishes alive and breathing around your throat.”

“We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, for that is a way of receiving it from ourselves; but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
