Famous quotes containing the words main and/or sights:

    Men enter by force, drawn back like Jonah
    into their fleshy mothers.
    A woman is her mother.
    That’s the main thing.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voice; and dead to its death. And not till we know, that one grief outweighs ten thousand joys will we become what Christianity is striving to make us.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
