Deaf

Famous quotes containing the word deaf:

“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“I will be deaf to pleading and excuses.
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The sky calls
To the deaf earth. The proverbial disarray
Of morning corrects itself as you stand up.
You are wearing a text.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
