Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

“I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
