Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

“My consolation is to think of the women I have known, now that there is no longer such thing as elegance. But how can people who contemplate these horrible creatures under their hats covered in pigeon-houses or gardens, how can they understand the charm of seeing Madame Swann wearing a simple mauve cap or a small hat surmounted by a straight iris?”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.”
