Small Body

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or body:

“The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.”
—Russell Lynes (b. 1910)

“Though I knit my brow,
my gaze is fixed
longingly
anyway.
Though I check my tongue,
this tortured face of mine
dissolves in a smile.
Though I drive my heart to hardness,
my body bears
the gooseflesh
of desire.
When I see that man,
how on earth
can my anger
survive?”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
