Famous quotes containing the words current, top and/or star:
“It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred. Women of this age look much more to their earlier childhood for memories of themselves and of their mothers. This links up to her typical parenting phase.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
“Your top has sunk too low,
Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Far star that tickles for me my sensitive plate
And fries a couple of ebon atoms white....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
