Famous quotes containing the words chest and/or pass:
“Are you there, Africa with the bulging chest and oblong thigh?

Slowly you vanish, you withdraw into the past, into the tales of castaways, colonial museums, the works of scholars.”
—Jean Genet (19101986)

By his own talents he worked his undoing.
Oh, you who pass by, if ever you have loved,
Think it not a burden to wish him calm repose.”
