Famous quotes containing the words acceptance and/or angle:

    “Cats of all kinds weave in and out of the text; Burroughs has clearly taken to them in a big way in his old age and seems torn between a fear they will betray him into sentimentality and a resigned acceptance that a man can’t be ironic all the time.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “So much symmetry!
    Like the pale angle of time
    And eternity.
    The great shape labored and fell.”
