Left Breast Suspended

Famous quotes containing the words left, breast and/or suspended:

    It’s so lonely here. Like we were the only two people left in the whole world. Maybe we are. Maybe when we get back to shore everybody else will have disappeared. I’d like that, wouldn’t you?
    Michael Wilson (1914–1978)

    My breast waited
    shy as a clam
    until you came,
    Mr. Firecracker,
    Mr. Panzer-man.
    You with your pogo stick ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails—aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter’s reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
