For books are more than books, they are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives.
Amy Lowell quote Youth condemns; maturity condones
Amy Lowell quote Hate is ravening vulture beaks descending on a place of skulls
Amy Lowell quote All books are either dreams or swords,
You can cut, or you can drug, with words
Amy Lowell quote Soft-heartedness, in times like these,
Shows sof'ness in the upper story!
Amy Lowell quote Visions for those too tired to sleep,
These seeds cast a film over eyes which weep
Amy Lowell quote Happiness, to some elation;
Is to others, mere stagnation.
Amy Lowell quote You are beautiful and faded
Like an old opera tune
Played upon a harpsichord.
