Famous quotes containing the words diamond and/or life:
“pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
pulling off the elopement wedding ring,
and holding them, clicking them
in thumb and forefinger,
the indent of twenty-five years,
like a tiny rip leaving its mark....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Yes, as my swift days near their goal,
‘Tis all that I implore—
Through life and death, a chainless soul,
With courage to endure!”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
