Famous quotes containing the words senior, burn and/or hall:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I’m on my half of the bed,
my face turned away,
and my heart’s now aflame with regret.
So why do you burn my back, too,
with your hot sighs?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“Generation on generation, your neck rubbed the windowsill
of the stall, smoothing the wood as the sea smooths glass.”
—Donald Hall (b. 1928)
