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.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“... the deep experience of the lonely climb on the mountain of success brings a wealth beyond power to compute. To you all suffering is understandable and your heart opens wide in sympathy.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)

“He gathers deeds
In the pure air, the agent
Of their factual excesses.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
