Calm Nights

Famous quotes containing the words calm and/or nights:

“There are some women ... in whom conscience is so strongly developed that it leaves little room for anything else. Love is scarcely felt before duty rushes to encase it, anger impossible because one must always be calm and see both sides, pity evaporates in expedients, even grief is felt as a sort of bruised sense of injury, a resentment that one should have grief forced upon one when one has always acted for the best.”
—Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)

“Wild Nights—Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
