Famous quotes containing the words thin, walled and/or beams:
“sullen fun
Savage as childhood’s thin harmonious tear:
O fountain, bosom source undying-dead
Replenish me the spring of love and fear”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“If we reason, we would be understood; if we imagine, we would that the airy children of our brain were born anew within another’s; if we feel, we would that another’s nerves should vibrate to our own, that the beams of their eyes should kindle at once and mix and melt into our own, that lips of motionless ice should not reply to lips quivering and burning with the heart’s best blood. This is Love.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
