Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

“Content thee, howsoe’er, whose days are done;
There lies not any troublous thing before,
Nor sight nor sound to war against thee more,
For whom all winds are quiet as the sun,
All waters as the shore.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)

And I am sick at heart.
Bernardo. Have you had quiet guard?
Francisco. Not a mouse stirring.”

“Night’s brittle song, silver-thin
Shatters into a billion fragments
Of quiet shadows
At the blaring jazz
Of a morning sun.”
