Left

Famous quotes containing the word left:

“As for conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that. Let not your right hand know what your left hand does in that line of business. It will prove a failure.... It is a greater strain than any soul can long endure. When you get God to pulling one way, and the devil the other, each having his feet well braced,—to say nothing of the conscience sawing transversely,—almost any timber will give way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“my heart leaps
in wonder.
Cold, fresh, deep, I feel the word ‘water’
spelled in my left palm.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“They killed the man I was. All that’s left is the will to hate and to destroy.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
