Slow Fading

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or fading:

“He has outsoared the shadow of our night;
Envy and calumny and hate and pain,
And that unrest which men miscall delight,
Can touch him not and torture not again;
From the contagion of the world’s slow stain
He is secure, and now can never mourn
A heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“Sensuality reconciles us with the human race. The misanthropy of the old is due in large part to the fading of the magic glow of desire.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
