Famous quotes containing the words burnt and/or alive:
“Iron are our lives
Molten right through our youth.
A burnt space through ripe fields
A fair mouth’s broken tooth.”
—Isaac Rosenberg (1890–1918)
“I knew very well that this hope was chimerical. I was like a pauper who mingles fewer tears with his dry bread if he tells himself that at any moment a stranger will bequeath to him his fortune. We must all, in order to make reality more tolerable, keep alive in us a few little follies.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
