Candle Holders

Famous quotes containing the words candle and/or holders:

    What did you do with your fear,
    later? Through the years of humiliation,
    of paranoia and blackmail and near-starvation, losing
    the love of those you loved, one after another,
    parents, lovers, children, idolized friends, what kept
    compassion’s candle alight in you....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Their holders have always seemed to me like a woman who should undertake at a state fair to run a sewing machine, under pretense of advertising it, while she had never spent an hour in learning its use.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
