Arms

Famous quotes containing the word arms:

    Show some mercy to this chair which has stretched out its arms to you for so long; please satisfy its desire to embrace you!
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    True. There is
    a beautiful Jesus.
    He is frozen to his bones like a chunk of beef.
    How desperately he wanted to pull his arms in!
    How desperately I touch his vertical and horizontal axes!
    But I can’t. Need is not quite belief.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The eyes that drew from me such fervent praise,
    The arms and hands and feet and countenance
    Which made me a stranger in my own romance
    And set me apart from the well-trodden ways;
    Petrarch (1304–1374)
