Learned Word Pairs

Famous quotes containing the words learned and/or word:

“... it is only after years and years that you can speak of penury in the midst of opulence, of hunger in the midst of almost sinful plenty. You must never speak of the immediate experience unless and until you have learned its consequent value. Otherwise you grow old in bitterness which is barren and futile....”
—E. M. Almedingen (b. 1898–?)

“And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much.”
