Famous quotes containing the words dark, age and/or book:
“will your eyes lie in wait,
little field mice nestling on their paws?
Perhaps they will say nothing,
perhaps they will be dark and leaden,
having played their own game
somewhere else....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“You end up as you deserve. In old age you must put up with the face, the friends, the health, and the children you have earned.”
—Fay Weldon (b. 1933)
“A book should long for pen, ink, and writing-table: but usually it is pen, ink, and writing-table that long for a book. That is why books are so negligible nowadays.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
