Famous quotes containing the words edith and/or head:

    “What I want to give in the theatre is beauty, that’s what I want to give.”
    —Dame Edith Evans (1888–1976)

    “Piece by piece I seem
    to re-enter the world: I first began
    a small, fixed dot, still see
    that old myself, a dark-blue thumbtack
    pushed into the scene,
    a hard little head protruding
    from the pointillist’s buzz and bloom.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
