Indifferent

Famous quotes containing the word indifferent:

    And shall the earth
    Seem all of paradise that we shall know?
    The sky will be much friendlier then than now,
    A part of labor and a part of pain,
    And next in glory to enduring love,
    Not this dividing and indifferent blue.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Fashion required the suppression of all naturalness—’to walk upright, with unbending joints; to shake hands after the pump- handle formula; to look inexpressibly indifferent towards everybody and everything; and speak only in a mincing voice was to be a decorous member of society.’
    —For the State of Rhode Island, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Look to your heart
    that flutters in and out like a moth.
    God is not indifferent to your need.
    You have a thousand prayers
    but God has one.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
