Thoughts

Famous quotes containing the word thoughts:

“Knowing does not always allow us to prevent, but at least the things that we know, we hold them, if not in our hands, but at least in our thoughts where we may dispose of them at our whim, which gives us the illusion of power over them.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“Men’s thoughts fling
living wires overhead,
the swallow wings there dead.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
