Deadly Physical Force

Famous quotes containing the words deadly, physical and/or force:

    I think that parents ought to get some idea of how the so- called “experts” have changed their advice over the decades, so that they won’t take them deadly seriously, and so that if the parent has the strong feeling, “I don’t like this advice,” the parent won’t feel compelled to follow it. . . . So don’t worry about trying to do a perfect job. There is no perfect job. There is no one way of raising your children.
    Benjamin Spock (b. 1903)

    The physical world is meaningless tonight
    And there is no other.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    My dear Kafka,
    When you’ve had five years of it, not five months,
    Five years of an irresistible force meeting an immoveable object right in your belly,
    Then you’ll know about depression.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
