Drawing Hand

Famous quotes containing the words drawing and/or hand:

    For later in the vast gloom of cities, only there you learn
    How the ideas were good only because they had to die,
    Leaving you alone and skinless, a drawing by Vesalius.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    This is what no one warns you about, when you decide to have children. There is so much written about the cost and the changes in your way of life, but no one ever tells you that what they are going to hand you in the hospital is power, whether you want it or not.... I should have known, but somehow overlooked for a time, that parents become, effortlessly, just by showing up, the most influential totems in the lives of their children.
    Anna Quindlen (20th century)
