Famous quotes containing the words human, vocal and/or fold:
“Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect. Whether in the synagogue, the mosque, the pagoda, or the wigwam, there is a hideous aspect which we execrate and a sublime aspect which we venerate. So great a subject for spiritual contemplation, such measureless dreamingthe echo of God on the human wall!”
—Victor Hugo (18021885)
“Prayer is
The world in tune,
A spirit-voice,
And vocal joys,
Whose echo is Heavens bliss.”
—Henry Vaughan (16221695)
“we do not explain my husbands insane abuse
and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled
or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead.
Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
