Permanent Peace

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or peace:

    In reality, in love there is a permanent suffering which joy neutralizes, renders virtual, delays, but which can at any moment become what it would have become long earlier if one had not obtained what one wanted, atrocious.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    man will be blotted out, the blithe earth die, the brave sun
    Die blind and blacken to the heart:
    Yet stones have stood for a thousand years, and pained thoughts
    found
    The honey of peace in old poems.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
