Isolated

Famous quotes containing the word isolated:

“I can’t earn my own living. I could never make anything turn into money. It’s like making fires. A careful assortment of paper, shavings, faggots and kindling nicely tipped with pitch will never light for me. I have never been present when a cigarette butt, extinct, thrown into a damp and isolated spot, started a conflagration in the California woods.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

“Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, ahistorical accidents, soon forgotten.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
