Quietly

Famous quotes containing the word quietly:

    The white hive is snug as a virgin,
    Sealing off her brood cells, her honey, and quietly humming.

    Smoke rolls and scarves in the grove.
    The mind of the hive thinks this is the end of everything.
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)

    I think perhaps we manage our revolutions much more quietly in this country.
    Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

    You may well ask how I expect to assert my privacy by resorting to the outrageous publicity of being one’s actual self on paper. There’s a possibility of it working if one chooses the terms, to wit: outshouting image-gimmick America through a quietly desperate search for self.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)
