Scent Mark

Famous quotes containing the words scent and/or mark:

    I am ... willing to admit that some people might live there for years, or even a lifetime, so protected that they never sense the sweet stench of corruption that is all around them—the keen, thin scent of decay that pervades everything and accuses with a terrible accusation the superficial youthfulness, the abounding undergraduate noise, that fills those ancient buildings.
    Thomas Merton (1915–1968)

    I pray that Allah may be moved
    To drop sleep on her eyes because she loved.
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
