Famous quotes containing the words heavy and/or oil:

    “There is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one’s own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “No skilled hands
    caress a stranger’s flesh with lucid oil before
    a word is spoken
    no feasting
    before a tale is told, before
    the stranger tells his name.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
