Missing Sun

Famous quotes containing the words missing and/or sun:

    What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It’s a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter.
    Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)

    The sun such an anointment
    Upon the forehead, on the hands and feet,
    That all air is appointed
    Our candid clothing, our elapsing state.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
