Famous quotes containing the words close and/or wound:
“It is surprising with what impunity and comfort one who has always lain in a warm bed in a close apartment, and studiously avoided drafts of air, can lie down on the ground without a shelter, roll himself in a blanket, and sleep before a fire, in a frosty autumn night, just after a long rain-storm, and even come soon to enjoy and value the fresh air.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For this ignorance of me
Seems a kind of innocence.
Fast enough I shall wound it....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
