Famous quotes containing the words front, hand and/or grabs:
“No one is promiscuous in his way of dying. A man who has decided to hang himself will never jump in front of a train.”
—A. Alvarez (b. 1929)
“She was too good for this life.
Very soon, a great transverse tear
Left only a hand and some blue.
Now Fight Cancer is there.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The present era grabs everything that was ever written in order to transform it into films, TV programmes, or cartoons. What is essential in a novel is precisely what can only be expressed in a novel, and so every adaptation contains nothing but the non-essential. If a person is still crazy enough to write novels nowadays and wants to protect them, he has to write them in such a way that they cannot be adapted, in other words, in such a way that they cannot be retold.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
