Re: Guess the quote
Oops, forgot I hadn't posted a quote yet. Here you are! c:
"Stars, hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see."

Re: Guess the quote
This one is from a book. Number two in a very long series of books:
The pen is mightier than the sword ... if the sword is very short and the pen is very sharp.
