Hands

Famous quotes containing the word hands:

“Tell me, how many hands have palpated the pulp that has grown so generously around your hard, bitter little soul?”

“Whate’er she meant by it, bury it with me,
For since I am
Love’s martyr, it might breed idolatry,
If into others’ hands these Reliques came;
As ‘twas humility
To afford to it all that a Soul can do,
So, ‘tis some bravery,
That since you would save none of me, I bury some of you.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“They have seemed to be together, though absent; shook hands as over a vast; and embraced as it were from the ends of opposed winds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
