Trembling Hand Perfect

Famous quotes containing the words trembling, hand and/or perfect:

    If we didn’t live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I’ve no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    But Thou that know’st Love above Intrest or lust
    Strew the Myrtle and Rose on this once belov’d Dust
    And shed one pious tear upon Jinny the Just
    Tread soft on her Grave, and do right to her honor
    Let neither rude hand no ill Tongue light upon her
    Do all the smal Favors that now can be done her
    Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    One of the reasons, surely, why women have been credited with less perfect veracity than men is that the burden of conventional falsehood falls chiefly on them.
    Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
