Extra Wide Gathers

Famous quotes containing the words extra, wide and/or gathers:

    “Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”

    “Timothy Winters comes to school
    With eyes as wide as a football-pool,
    Ears like bombs and teeth like splinters:
    A blitz of a boy is Timothy Winters.”
    —Charles Causley (b. 1917)

    “He gathers deeds
    In the pure air, the agent
    Of their factual excesses.”
