Innocent

Famous quotes containing the word innocent:

“Life is extraordinarily suave and sweet with certain natural, witty, affectionate people who have unusual distinction and are capable of every vice, but who make a display of none in public and about whom no one can affirm they have a single one. There is something supple and secret about them. Besides, their perversity gives spice to their most innocent occupations, such as taking a walk in the garden at night.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“And the beauty
Of the moonlight
Falling there,
Falling
As sleep falls
In the innocent air.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“All fables, indeed, have their morals; but the innocent enjoy the story.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
