Stern Room

Famous quotes containing the words stern and/or room:

“It was her stern necessity: all things
Are of one pattern made; bird, beast, and flower,
Deceive us, seeming to be many things,
And are but one. Beheld far off, they differ
As God and devil; bring them to the mind,
They dull its edge with their monotony.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“For I pray that my typewriter, ever faithful, will not break even though I threw it across the hospital room six years ago.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
