Famous quotes containing the words cripple and/or peak:
“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
“I think I’ve been good, but I want to be better. I think women reach their peak in their mid-thirties.”
