Famous quotes containing the words gain and/or twist:

    When you sympathize with a married woman you either make two enemies or gain one wife and one friend.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or, again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
