Frail

Famous quotes containing the word frail:

“Here, where no love is,
All that was hopeless
And kept me from sleeping
Is frail and unsure....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man’s frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.”
—Max Lerner (b. 1902)

“But angels come to lead frail minds to rest
In chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound.
You frame my thoughts, and fashion me within;
You stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak;”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
