Famous quotes containing the word hands:

“But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.”

Her hands will fall to her sides
And no wind will trouble to break her grief.”

“Opera once was an important social instrument—especially in Italy. With Rossini and Verdi people were listening to opera together and having the same catharsis with the same story, the same moral dilemmas. They were holding hands in the darkness. That has gone. Now perhaps they are holding hands watching television.”
—Luciano Berio (b. 1925)
