Angry Drunken Dwarf

Famous quotes containing the words angry, drunken and/or dwarf:

    I am absolutely sure that a lot of Daddy anger has more to do with unrealized dreams than with messy rooms. Trust me. You’re not really angry at your kids. You’re angry at somebody else, somebody who is a far less distinguished person than he dreamed of being.
    Hugh O’Neill (20th century)

    Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean; the world has grown grey from thy breath;
    We have drunken of things Lethean; and fed on the fullness of death.
    Laurel is green for a season, and love is sweet for a day;
    But love grows bitter with treason, and laurel outlives not May.
    Sleep, shall we sleep after all? for the world is not sweet in the
    end;
    For the old faiths loosen and fall, the new years ruin and rend.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)

    When I lie down to love,
    old dwarf heart shakes her head.
    Like an imbecile she was born old.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
