Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or division:
“We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages.”

“That crazed girl improvising her music,
Her poetry, dancing upon the shore,
Her soul in division from itself
Climbing, falling she knew not where,
Hiding amid the cargo of a steamship
Her knee-cap broken.”
