Famous quotes containing the words steele and/or scott:

    On thee alone my hope relies;
    Beneath thy cross I fall,
    My Lord, my life, my sacrifice,
    My Saviour, and my all.
    —Anne Steele (1717–1778)

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
