Famous quotes containing the words close and/or combat:

    “When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “In any combat between a rogue and a fool the sympathy of mankind is always with the rogue.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
