Famous quotes containing the words dry and/or skin:
“Then I had only prisoners thoughts. I awaited the daily walk which I took in the yard, or my lawyers visit. I managed the remainder of my time very well. I have often thought that if I was made to live in a dry tree trunk, without any other occupation but to watch the flower of the sky above my head, I would have gradually gotten used to it.”
—Albert Camus (19131960)
“The work was like peeling an onion. The outer skin came off with difficulty ... but in no time youd be down to its innards, tears streaming from your eyes as more and more beautiful reductions became possible.”
—Edward Blishen (b. 1920)
