Severely Burnt

Famous quotes containing the words severely and/or burnt:

    Personality and mind, like moustaches, belong to a certain age. They are a deformity in a child.... Leave his sensibilities, his emotions, his spirit, and his mind severely alone. There is the devil in mothers, that they must provoke personal ... response from their infants.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The trouble is that no devastating or redeeming fires have ever burnt in my life.... My life began by flickering out.
    Ivan Goncharov (1812–1891)
