Famous quotes containing the words thine and/or enemies:

“Spirit of Beauty, that dost consecrate
With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon
Of human thought or form,”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

“The distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep, and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
