Stealing Heaven

Famous quotes containing the words stealing and/or heaven:

    All stealing is comparative. If you come to absolutes, pray who does not steal?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Were you the earth, dear Love, and I the skies,
    My love should shine on you like to the Sun,
    And look upon you with ten thousand eyes,
    Till heaven wax’d blind, and till the world were done.
    Whereso’er I am,—below, or else above you—
    Whereso’er you are, my heart shall truly love you.
    Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)
