Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

“Summoning a child’s voice from a webfoot stone,
Never never oh never to regret the bugle I wore
On my cleaving arm as I blasted in a wave.
Now shown and mostly bare I would lie down,
Lie down, like down and live
As quiet as a bone.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet and still air of delightful studies.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“And we talked of girls, and dropping bombs on Rome,
And thought of the quiet dead and the loud celebrities
Exhorting us to slaughter,”
—Alun Lewis (1915–1944)
