Shadow Killing

Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or killing:

“O love, my love! if I no more should see
Thyself, nor on the earth the shadow of thee,
Nor image of thine eyes in any spring,—
How then should sound upon Life’s darkening slope
The ground-whirl of the perished leaves of Hope,
The wind of Death’s imperishable wing?”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)

“Writing fiction is ... an endless and always defeated effort to capture some quality of life without killing it.”
