Nest Height

Famous quotes containing the words nest and/or height:

    “Without, the frost, the blinding snow,
    The storm-wind’s moody madness—
    Within, the firelight’s ruddy glow,
    And childhood’s nest of gladness.
    The magic words shall hold thee fast:
    Thou shalt not heed the raving blast.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “Much more frequent in Hollywood than the emergence of Cinderella is her sudden vanishing. At our party, even in those glowing days, the clock was always striking twelve for someone at the height of greatness; and there was never a prince to fetch her back to the happy scene.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
