Famous quotes containing the words total and/or strength:

    “I only know that a rook
    Ordering its black feathers can so shine
    As to seize me senses, haul
    My eyelids up, and grant

    A brief respite from fear
    Of total neutrality.”
    —Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    “Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows,
    Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,—
    But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still
    With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
