Famous quotes containing the words net, site and/or energy:

the webs, all bloody and gluey;

your way out of childhood,
that airless net that fastened you down.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A great number of the disappointments and mishaps of the troubled world are the direct result of literature and the allied arts. It is our belief that no human being who devotes his life and energy to the manufacture of fantasies can be anything but fundamentally inadequate”
