Famous quotes containing the words miracle and/or father:
“Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.”
—Anaïs Nin (1903–1977)
