Mass White Dwarf

Famous quotes containing the words mass, white and/or dwarf:

    “Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century’s surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “The silence is death.
    It comes each day with its shock
    to sit on my shoulder, a white bird,
    and peck at the black eyes
    and the vibrating red muscle
    of my mouth.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “When I lie down to love,
    old dwarf heart shakes her head.
    Like an imbecile she was born old.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
