Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or animals:

    Such sacred Treasures are the Limbs of Boys
    In which a Soul doth dwell:

    Old women snore violently. They are like bodies into which bizarre animals have crept at night; the animals are vicious, bawdy, noisy. How they snore! There is no shame to their snoring. Old women turn into old men.
