Famous quotes containing the words china and/or alley:
“Riot in Algeria, in Cyprus, in Alabama;
Aged in wrong, the empires are declining,
And China gathers, soundlessly, like evidence.
What shall I say to the young on such a morning?—
Mind is the one salvation?—also grammar?—
No; my little ones lean not toward revolt.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“In the mind there is a thin alley called death
and I move through it as
through water.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
