Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

“Exaggeration is in the course of things. Nature sends no creature, no man into the world, without adding a small excess of his proper quality. Given the planet, it is still necessary to add the impulse; so, to every creature nature added a little violence of direction in its proper path, a shove to put it on its way; in every instance, a slight generosity, a drop too much.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Snow, snow over the whole land
across all boundaries.
The candle burned on the table,
the candle burned.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
