Famous quotes containing the words high and/or relief:
“As I walked on the glacis I heard the sound of a bagpipe from the soldiers dwellings in the rock, and was further soothed and affected by the sight of a soldiers cat walking up a cleated plank in a high loophole designed for mus-catry, as serene as Wisdom herself, and with a gracefully waving motion of her tail, as if her ways were ways of pleasantness and all her paths were peace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Look at your lake, Christine. Youll love it here, when you get used to the dark. And youll love the dark, too. Its friendly. And peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. Its right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it, then its all beauty and life here is like a resurrection.”
—Eric Taylor, and Leroux. Arthur Lubin. Erique Claudin (Claude Rains)
