Famous quotes containing the words kingdom and/or period:
“O thou undaunted daughter of desires!
By all thy dower of lights and fires;
By all the eagle in thee, all the dove;
By all thy lives and deaths of love;
By thy large draughts of intellectual day,
And by thy thirsts of love more large then they;
By all thy brim-filld Bowls of fierce desire,
By thy last Mornings draught of liquid fire;
By the full kingdom of that final kiss
That seizd thy parting Soul, and seald thee his;”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?1649)
“Stupid word, that. Period. In America it means full stop like in punctuation. Thats stupid as well. A period isnt a full stop. Its a new beginning. I dont mean all that creativity, life-giving force, earth-mother stuff, I mean its a new beginning to the month, relief that youre not pregnant, when you dont have to have a child.”
—Michelene Wandor (b. 1940)
