Famous quotes containing the words haven and/or bliss:
“Finishing schools in the fifties were a good place to store girls for a few years before marrying them off, a satisfactory rest stop between college weekends spent husband hunting. It was a haven for those of us adept at styling each other’s hair, playing canasta, and chain smoking Pall Mall extra-long cigarettes.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“No other sun has lightened up my heaven,
No other star has ever shone for me;
All my life’s bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life’s bliss is in the grave with thee.”
—Emily Brontë (1818–1848)
