Filled

Famous quotes containing the word filled:

    He who has been impoverished for a long time ... who has long stood before the door of the mighty in darkness and begged for alms, has filled his heart with bitterness so that it resembles a sponge full of gall; he knows about the injustice and folly of all human action and sometimes his lips tremble with rage and a stifled scream.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    they filled his belly
    with large stones and sewed him up.
    He was as heavy as a cemetery
    and when he woke up and tried to run off
    he fell over dead. Killed by his own weight.
    Many a deception ends on such a note.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Reason, progress, unselfishness, a wide historical perspective, expansiveness, generosity, enlightened self-interest. I had heard it all my life, and it filled me with despair.
    Katherine Tait (b. 1923)
