Turtle Heart

Famous quotes containing the words turtle and/or heart:

    “I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
    The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
    The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
    All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “And thus we rust Life’s iron chain
    Degraded and alone:
    And some men curse, and some men weep,
    And some men make no moan:
    But God’s eternal Laws are kind
    And break the heart of stone:”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
