Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or speak:
“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I feel I must learn to speak the Baa
of the simple-minded, while my mind
dives into the multi-colored
crowded voices,
cries for help, My breasts are off me.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
