High Waves

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or waves:

    [F]or women, like tradesmen, draw in the injudicious to buy their goods by the high value they themselves set upon them.... They endeavor strongly to fix in the minds of their enamoratos their own high value, and then contrive as much as possible to make them believe that they have so many purchasers at hand that the goods—if they do not make haste—will all be gone.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    Your eyes have pardoned our faults,
    your hands have touched us
    you have leaned forward a little
    and the waves can never thrust us back
    from the splendour of your ragged coast.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
