Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

    We may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, “Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did;” and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
    Izaak Walton (1593–1683)

    even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
    Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
    Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer’s horse
    Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    To be innocent is natural, but to die pure of heart—that’s a gift.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. George Melton (Harry Carey)
