Heavens

Famous quotes containing the word heavens:

    Needles in a heavenly haystack. There are more stars in the heavens than there are human beings on earth.
    Sydney Boehm (1908–1990)

    When I reflect to what a cause this man devoted himself, and how religiously, and then reflect to what cause his judges and all who condemn him so angrily and fluently devote themselves, I see that they are as far apart as the heavens and the earth are asunder.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
    Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
    Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
    Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
    Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
    To those that cannot say good-by themselves.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
