Hecht

Famous quotes containing the word hecht:

    The eventual shapes of all our formless prayers,
    This dark, this cabin of loose imaginings,
    Wind, lake, lip, everything awaits
    The slow unloosening of her underthings.
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    If the heart has its reasons, perhaps the body
    Has its own lumbering sort of carnal spirit,
    Felt in the tingling bruises of collision,
    And known to captains as esprit de corps.
    —Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)

    Innocent people can get into terrible jams, too. One false move and you’re in over your head.
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
