Consumes

Famous quotes containing the word consumes:

    Debt, grinding debt, whose iron face the widow, the orphan, and the sons of genius fear and hate;Mdebt, which consumes so much time, which so cripples and disheartens a great spirit with cares that seem so base, is a preceptor whose lessons cannot be forgone, and is needed most by those who suffer from it most.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The poet makes himself a seer by a long, prodigious, and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, and keeps only their quintessences.
    Arthur Rimbaud (1854–1891)

    Widow. The word consumes itself ...
    Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
