Buttons

Famous quotes containing the word buttons:

    Ah, my dear Madam, ah, “Mr.” Serge Solntsev, how easy it is to guess that the author’s name is a pseudonym, that the author is not a man! Every sentence of yours buttons to the left.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Now your beer belly hangs outlike Fatso.
    You are popping your buttons and expelling gas.
    How can I lie down with you, my comical beau
    when you are so middle-aged and lower-class.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
    rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
    ...
    I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
    a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
    People want to push the buttons and see me glow.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
