Sacred Jewel Shard

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or jewel:

    America is neither free nor brave, but a land of tight, iron- clanking little wills, everybody trying to put it over everybody else, and a land of men absolutely devoid of the real courage of trust, trust in life’s sacred spontaneity. They can’t trust life until they can control it.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    O troubled forms, O early love unfortunate and hard,
    Time has estranged you into a jewel cold and pure;
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
