Left Breast Suspended

Famous quotes containing the words left, breast and/or suspended:

    The order of the world is always right—such is the judgment of God. For God has departed, but he has left his judgment behind, the way the Cheshire Cat left his grin.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    If in the world there be more woe
    Than I have in my heart,
    Whereso it is, it doth come fro,
    And in my breast there doth it grow,
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
