Skin Temperature

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or temperature:

    Nor skin nor hide nor fleece
    shall cover you,
    nor curtain of crimson nor fine
    shelter of cedar-wood be over you,
    nor the fir-tree
    nor the pine.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.
    Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)
