Literally Translates

Famous quotes containing the words literally and/or translates:

“Romanticism is not just a mode; it literally eats into every life. Women will never get rid of just waiting for the right man.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)

“A noble person confers no such gift as his whole confidence: none so exalts the giver and the receiver; it produces the truest gratitude. Perhaps it is only essential to friendship that some vital trust should have been reposed by the one in the other. I feel addressed and probed even to the remotest parts of my being when one nobly shows, even in trivial things, an implicit faith in me.... A threat or a curse may be forgotten, but this mild trust translates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
