Famous quotes containing the word calm:

    There is no calm philosophy of life here, such as you might put at the end of the Almanac, to hang over the farmer’s hearth,—how men shall live in these winter, in these summer days. No philosophy, properly speaking, of love, or friendship, or religion, or politics, or education, or nature, or spirit; perhaps a nearer approach to a philosophy of kingship, and of the place of the literary man, than of anything else.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There was calm rapture in the way she spoke
    Perhaps I would get over the way the joke
    Always turned against me, in the end.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    An inebriated elderly gentleman in the last depths of shabbiness... played the calm and virtuous old men.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
