Deeper

Famous quotes containing the word deeper:

“In the deeper layers of the modern consciousness ... every attempt to succeed is an act of aggression, leaving one alone and guilty and defenseless among enemies: one is punished for success. This is our intolerable dilemma: that failure is a kind of death and success is evil and dangerous, is—ultimately—impossible.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

“The Cross, the Cross
Goes deeper in than we know,
Deeper into life;
Right into the marrow
And through the bone.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“I had kept opaque
Down deeper than the canyons undersea
The sullen spectrum of a buried lake
Nobody saw; not seen even by me....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
