Edge

Famous quotes containing the word edge:

    The self-consciousness of Pine Ridge manifests itself at the village’s edge in such signs as “Drive Keerful,” “Don’t Hit Our Young ‘uns,” and “You-all Hurry Back”Mlocutions which nearly all Arkansas hill people use daily but would never dream of putting in print.

    The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen
    As is the razor’s edge invisible.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    when it comes to my death let it be slow,
    let it be pantomime, this last peep show,
    so that I may squat at the edge trying on
    my black necessary trousseau.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
