Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or emotion:
“O, let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven!
Keep me in temper, I would not be mad!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“But it isn’t only the terror everywhere, and the fear of being conscious of it, that freezes people. It’s more than that. People know they are in a society dead or dying. They are refusing emotion because at the end of very emotion are property, money, power. They work and despise their work, and so freeze themselves. They love but know that it’s a half- love or a twisted love, and so they freeze themselves.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
