Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or hand:
“Yet there is a mystery here and it is not one that I understand: without the sting of otherness, of—even—the vicious, without the terrible energies of the underside of health, sanity, sense, then nothing works or can work. I tell you that goodness-what we in our ordinary daylight selves call goodness: the ordinary, the decent—these are nothing without the hidden powers that pour forth continually from their shadow sides. Their hidden aspects contained and tempered.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“Hold you there, neither a strange hand nor my own, neither heavy nor light shall touch my bum.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
