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)

    Now’s the time for mirth and play,
    Saturday’s an holiday;
    Praise to heaven unceasing yield,
    I’ve found a lark’s nest in the field.
    Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
