Dotted Green Line

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or line:

    Hermann and Humbert are alike only in the sense that two dragons painted by the same artist at different periods of his life resemble each other. Both are neurotic scoundrels, yet there is a green lane in Paradise where Humbert is permitted to wander at dusk once a year; but Hell shall never parole Hermann.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    One line typed twenty years ago
    can be blazed on a wall in spraypaint
    to glorify art as detachment
    or torture of those we
    did not love but also
    did not want to kill.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
