The Lost City of Sand

Famous quotes containing the words lost, city and/or sand:

    This man is quickened so with grief.
    He wanders god-like or like thief
    Inside and out, below, above,
    Without relief seeking lost love.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    You’ve been trying to keep an honest accounting of city monies. You’ve been dealing with politicians. You’ve been standing up for your own rights, haven’t you? Naturally you landed in jail.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

    O that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances! For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash. For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 6:2-5.
