Leaving

Famous quotes containing the word leaving:

“In the deeper layers of the modern consciousness ... every attempt to succeed is an act of aggression, leaving one alone and guilty and defenseless among enemies: one is punished for success. This is our intolerable dilemma: that failure is a kind of death and success is evil and dangerous, is—ultimately—impossible.”
—Robert Warshow (1917–1955)

“All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
