Dealt Face

Famous quotes containing the words dealt and/or face:

“My paternal grandmother would not light a fire on the Sabbath and piled all Sunday’s washing-up in a bucket, to be dealt with on Monday morning, because the Sabbath was a day of rest—a practice that made my paternal grandfather, the village atheist, as mad as fire. Nevertheless, he willed five quid to the minister, just to be on the safe side.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)

“Panting, begging I clutched childlike, clutched to the hot sides of
death.
Now I am dry bones and my face a stony skull staring in yellow
surprise at the sun. . . .”
—Richard Wright (1808–1860)
