Dark Age Book

Famous quotes containing the words dark, age and/or book:

    No, they are dark and wrinkled and hairy,
    caves of the Moon . . .——— And when a
    dark humming fills us, a
    coldness towards life,
    we are too much women to
    own such unwomanliness.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    I call the years when our children are between six and twelve the “golden years,” not because everything’s perfect . . . but because the kids are capable and independent. . . . They’re becoming fascinating human beings who continually astound us and make us laugh. And they build our self-esteem. They still adore us for the most part, not yet having reached that age of thinking everything we do is dumb, old-fashioned and irrelevant.
    Vicki Lansky (20th century)

    Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists.... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
