Closely

Famous quotes containing the word closely:

“However closely people are attached to one another, their mutual horizon nonetheless includes all four compass directions, and now and again they notice it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
At New Year and, from then until April, lay
On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“Our failings sometimes bind us to one another as closely as could virtue itself.”
—Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715–1747)
