Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or left:
“I don’t believe any more in democracy. But I can’t believe in the old sort of aristocracy, either, nor can I wish it back, splendid as it was. What I believe in is the old Homeric aristocracy, when the grandeur was inside a man, and he lived in a simple wooden house.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before:
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more.”
