Famous quotes containing the words felt and/or recoil:
“All my life
I have been restless—
I have felt there is something

than wholeness—
than staying at home.”
—Mary Oliver (b. 1935)
“A man with your experience in affairs must have seen cause to appreciate the futility of opposition to the moral sentiment. However feeble the sufferer and however great the oppressor, it is in the nature of things that the blow should recoil upon the aggressor. For God is in the sentiment, and it cannot be withstood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
