Famous quotes containing the word candle:
“What did you do with your fear,
later? Through the years of humiliation,
of paranoia and blackmail and near-starvation, losing
the love of those you loved, one after another,
parents, lovers, children, idolized friends, what kept
compassion’s candle alight in you....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
