Highly Polished

Famous quotes containing the words highly and/or polished:

“Once the sin against God was the greatest sin, but God died, and so these sinners died as well. To sin against the earth is now the most terrible thing, and to esteem the entrails of the unknowable more highly than the meaning of the earth.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“I could see that none were clumsy.
I could see that each was tight and firm.
Not one of them had trickled blood
waiting as polished as gull beaks,
as closed as all that.”
