Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“Time drops in decay,
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The parent is the strongest statement that the child hears regarding what it means to be alive and real. More than what we say or do, the way we are expresses what we think it means to be alive. So the articulate parent is less a telling than a listening individual.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
