Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    A fortified town is like a man cased in the heavy armor of antiquity, with a horse-load of broadswords and small arms slung to him, endeavoring to go about his business.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Mother’s arms are made of tenderness,
    And sweet sleep blesses the child who lies therein.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    in my arms till break of day
    Let the living creature lie,
    Mortal, guilty, but to me
    The entirely beautiful.

    Soul and body have no bounds:
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
