Left Hand Pizzicato

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or hand:

    Historically and politically, the petit-bourgeois is the key to the century.... The bourgeois and proletariat classes have become abstractions: the petite-bourgeoisie, in contrast, is everywhere, you can see it everywhere, even in the areas of the bourgeois and the proletariat, what’s left of them.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    I think I could . . .
    if I’d been different, or wise, or calm,
    I think I could have charmed the table,
    the stained dish or the hand of the dealer.
    But it’s done.
    It’s all used up.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
