Violet/people

Famous quotes containing the words violet and/or people:

    At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
    Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
    To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
    One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
    At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
    The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    ...and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do.”
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 24:2.
