Famous quotes containing the words noble and/or sanctuary:
“my pleasure
was in the strength of my back,
in my noble shoulders, the cool
smooth flesh cylinders of my arms.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defence-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
