Lies

Famous quotes containing the word lies:

    The lies fall like flaxen threads from the skies
    All over America, and the fact that some of them are true of course
    Doesn’t so much not matter as serve to justify
    The whole mad organizing force under the billows of correct delight.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    When Walser first put on his make-up, he looked in the mirror and did not recognise himself ... he experienced the freedom that lies behind the mask, within dissimulation.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Deep with the first dead lies London’s daughter,
    Robed in the long friends,
    The grains beyond age, the dark veins of her mother,
    Secret by the unmourning water
    Of the riding Thames.
    After the first death, there is no other.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
