Stealing Heaven

Famous quotes containing the words stealing and/or heaven:

    In the twentieth century, death terrifies men less than the absence of real life. All these dead, mechanized, specialized actions, stealing a little bit of life a thousand times a day until the mind and body are exhausted, until that death which is not the end of life but the final saturation with absence.
    Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)

    I lost the love of heaven above,
    I spurned the lust of earth below,
    I felt the sweets of fancied love,
    And hell itself my only foe.
    John Clare (1793–1864)
