Indifferent

Famous quotes containing the word indifferent:

    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)

    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)

    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)
