Lowest Distance

Famous quotes containing the words lowest and/or distance:

    We are put there beside the three thieves
    for the lowest of us all
    deserve to smile in eternity
    like a watermelon.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
