Boothe Recorded

Famous quotes containing the words boothe and/or recorded:

    A man has only one escape from his old self: to see a different self—in the mirror of some woman’s eyes.
    —Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)

    The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
