Famous quotes containing the words deadly and/or deep:
“One of the great triumphs of the nineteenth century was to limit the connotation of the word immoral in such a way that, for practical purposes, only those were immoral who drank too much or made too copious love. Those who indulged in any or all of the other deadly sins could look down in righteous indignation on the lascivious and the gluttonous.... In the name of all lechers and boozers I most solemnly protest against the invidious distinction made to our prejudice.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“With spring the father-sky remakes the world:
The male shower has flowed into the bride,
Earths body; then shifted through sky and sea and land
To touch the quickening child in her deep side.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
