Candles

Famous quotes containing the word candles:

“O heart the winds have shaken, the unappeasable host
Is comelier than candles at Mother Mary’s feet.”

Where no candles are,
And maybe we are all the same
That strip the body bare.”

“Chanuka and St. Nicholas Day came almost together this year—just one day’s difference. We didn’t make much fuss about Chanuka: we just gave each other a few little presents and then we had the candles. Because of the shortage of candles we only had them alight for ten minutes, but it is all right as long as you have the song.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
