Famous quotes containing the words insane and/or clown:
“we do not explain my husbands insane abuse
and we do not say why your wild-haired wife has fled
or that my father opened like a walnut and then was dead.
Your palms fold over me like knees. Love is the only use.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“They tell us sometimes that if we had only kept quiet, all these desirable things would have come about of themselves. I am reminded of the Greek clown who, having seen an archer bring down a flying bird, remarked, sagely: You might have saved your arrow, for the bird would anyway have been killed by the fall.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (18151902)
