Left Ear

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or ear:

    Whilst all the land was ringed with bristling arms
    And flames laid waste our world,
    All that was left me was a little garden
    And thou within it, my beloved, my comrade.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    The book borrower of real stature whom we envisage here proves himself to be an inveterate collector of books not so much by the fervor with which he guards his borrowed treasures and by the deaf ear which he turns to all reminders from the everyday world of legality as by his failure to read these books.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
