Famous quotes containing the words candy and/or darling:

    I’m headed for a land that’s far away
    Beside the crystal fountains.
    So come with me, we’ll go and see
    The Big Rock Candy Mountains.

    I had this thought a while ago,
    “My darling cannot understand
    What I have done, or what would do
    In this blind bitter land.”
    And I grew weary of the sun
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
