Lost Immunity

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or immunity:

    “A woman who’d lost her first son
    consoled us with an angel gone ahead
    to pray for our family—
    gone into that sky
    seeking oxygen,
    gone into autopsy,”
    —Michael S. Harper (b. 1938)

    “There is immunity in reading, immunity in formal society, in office routine, in the company of old friends and in the giving of officious help to strangers, but there is no sanctuary in one bed from the memory of another. The past with its anguish will break through every defence-line of custom and habit; we must sleep and therefore we must dream.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
