Famous quotes containing the words related and/or phenomena:
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“What were the phenomena of the world today? If I knew little else, I knew the answer—war, and the preparations for new war.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
