Famous quotes containing the words tainted and/or love:
“So that the reverence and the gaiety
May not be forgotten in later experience,
In the bored habituation, the fatigue, the tedium,
The awareness of death, the consciousness of failure,
Or in the piety of the convert
Which may be tainted with a self-conceit....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Love me little, love me long,
Is the burden of my song:”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
