Gold Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or leaves:

    If it were possible to cure evils by lamentation and to raise the dead with tears, then gold would be a less valuable thing than weeping.

    I happened to find
    Your picture. That picture. I stopped there cold,
    Like a man raking piles of dead leaves in his yard
    Who has turned up a severed hand.
