Edges

Famous quotes containing the word edges:

“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)

“People stay
Next to the edges of fields, hoping that out of nothing
Something will come, and it does, but what?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
