Famous quotes containing the words hand and/or knot:
“The god who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“When my lover came to bed,
the knot came untied
all by itself.
My dress,
held up by the strings of a loosened belt,
barely stayed on my hips.
Friend,
that’s as much as I know now.
When he touched my body,
I couldn’t at all remember
who he was,
who I was,
or how It was.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
