Dead Brother

Famous quotes containing the words dead and/or brother:

    So vulnerable.
    She is already trampled, that one,
    having traveled so far from the heart.
    She weighs so little.
    She is so light and vulnerable.
    She is the dead bee called love.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    In the moment when you make the least petition to God, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,—do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? In that act, the soul stands alone with God, and Jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
