The living blind and seeing Dead together lie
More quotes by Edith Sitwell
I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.
Vulgarity is, in reality, nothing but a modern, chic, pert descendant of the goddess Dullness.
Mother or Murderer, you have
given or taken life —
Now all is one!
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
