Winds Destroyed

Famous quotes containing the words winds and/or destroyed:

“Piety practised in solitude, like the flower that blooms in the desert, may give its fragrance to the winds of heaven, and delight those unbodied spirits that survey the works of God and the actions of men; but it bestows no assistance upon earthly beings, and however free from taints of impurity, yet wants the sacred splendour of beneficence.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“The mind is “ashamed” of the blood. And the blood is destroyed by the mind, actually. Hence palefaces.”
