Famous quotes containing the word covers:

    “Boys finding for the first time their loins filled with heart’s
    blood
    Widowed farmers whose hands float under light covers to find
    themselves
    Arisen at sunrise”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “It is an evil world. The fires of hatred and violence burn fiercely. Evil is powerful, the devil covers a darkened earth with his black wings. And soon the end of the world is expected. But mankind does not repent, the church struggles, and the preachers and poets warn and lament in vain.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
