Thousand Knives

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or knives:

“A thousand moral paintings I can show
That shall demonstrate these quick blows of Fortune’s
More pregnantly than words.”

In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.

There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
