Quiet

Famous quotes containing the word quiet:

    When the whole world is writing letters, it’s easy to lap into the quiet within, tell the story of an hour, keep alive the narrating inner life. To be alone in the presence of one’s thought is not a value, only a common practice.
    Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)

    Night’s brittle song, silver-thin
    Shatters into a billion fragments
    Of quiet shadows
    At the blaring jazz
    Of a morning sun.
    Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)

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