Body Burden

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or burden:

“Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist.
Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)

“Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder.”
