Weeping

Famous quotes containing the word weeping:

“I fear animals regard man as a creature of their own kind which has in a highly dangerous fashion lost its healthy animal reason—as the mad animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“All the strong agonized men
Wear the hard clothes of war,
Try to remember what they are fighting for.
But in dark weeping helpless moments of peace
Women and poets believe and resist forever.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

“And now where e’re he strayes
Among the Galilaean mountains,
Or more unwelcome wayes,
Hee’s follow’d by two faithfull fountaines,
Two walking Baths, two weeping motions;
Portable and compendious Oceans.”
—Richard Crashaw (1613?–1649)
