Deny Large Areas

Famous quotes containing the words deny, large and/or areas:

    Being the sons of mothers whose husbands had blundered rather brutally through their feminine sanctities, they were themselves too diffident and shy. They could easier deny themselves than incur any reproach from a woman; for a woman was like their mother, and they were full of the sense of their mother. They preferred themselves to suffer the misery of celibacy, rather than risk the other person.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    If I’m not so large as you,
    You are not so small as I,
    And not half so spry.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas ... a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
