Famous quotes containing the words honours and/or arms:

    If a novel reveals true and vivid relationships, it is a moral work, no matter what the relationships consist in. If the novelist honours the relationship in itself, it will be a great novel.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    When you’re in my arms and I feel you so close to me, all my wildest dreams come true.
    Ned Washington (1901–1976)
