Contained

Famous quotes containing the word contained:

“Nostalgia keeps dissolving the ironic narratives in which I have contained my past.”

“Like desire, language disrupts, refuses to be contained within boundaries.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)

“Yet there is a mystery here and it is not one that I understand: without the sting of otherness, of—even—the vicious, without the terrible energies of the underside of health, sanity, sense, then nothing works or can work. I tell you that goodness-what we in our ordinary daylight selves call goodness: the ordinary, the decent—these are nothing without the hidden powers that pour forth continually from their shadow sides. Their hidden aspects contained and tempered.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
