Middle Region

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or region:

    Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.
    Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
