Dress Worn

Famous quotes containing the words dress and/or worn:

    The dress of a woman of Lhasa,
    In its place,
    Is an invisible element of that place
    Made visible.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.
    Erica Jong (b. 1942)
