Famous quotes containing the word feeling:
“Germany is a queer country: one can’t regard it dispassionately. I alternate between hating it thoroughly, stick, stock and stone, and yearning over it fit to break my heart. I can’t help feeling it a young and adorable country—adolescent—with the faults of adolescence.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I said, “That was a very brave thing to do.” He said, “Och, it was just the training.” I have a feeling that, in the end, probably that is the answer to a great many things.”
—Elizabeth II (b. 1926)
“Little of all we value here
Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year
Without both feeling and looking queer.
In fact, there’s nothing that keeps its youth,
So far as I know, but a tree and truth.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
