Famous quotes containing the words drowning and/or people:
“In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
