Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or left:
“Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“Thou hast left behind
Powers that will work for thee; air, earth, and skies;
Theres not a breathing of the common wind
That will forget thee; thou hast great allies;
Thy friends are exultations, agonies,
And love, and mans unconquerable mind.”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
