Flames

Famous quotes containing the word flames:

“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Lust gratifies its flames in the chambers of the sacristans more often than in the houses of ill-fame.”
—Marcus Minucius Felix (2nd or 3rd cen. A.D.)

“Out of a grave I come to tell you this,
Out of a grave I come to quench the kiss
That flames upon your forehead with a glow
That blinds you to the way that you must go.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
