Famous quotes containing the word lifts:
“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
““... Anne has a way with flowers to take the place
Of what she’s lost: she goes down on one knee
And lifts their faces by the chin to hers
And says their names, and leaves them where they are.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The My Lai soldier lifts me up again and again
and lowers me down with the other dead women and babies
saying, It’s my job. It’s my job.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
