Shadow Hearts II

Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or hearts:

    ...to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:76.

    Zechariah speaking about his son.

    The hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or, again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.
    Carson McCullers (1917–1967)
