Drawn

Famous quotes containing the word drawn:

“Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive,
Half wishing they were dead to save the shame.
The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow;
They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats,
And flare up bodily, wings and all. What then?
Who’s sorry for a gnat ... or girl?”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“No people is wholly civilized where a distinction is drawn between stealing an office and stealing a purse.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

“It looks like solidified azure, as, far off, it is drawn through the streets.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
