Oliver Baldwin

Famous quotes containing the words oliver and/or baldwin:

    When it’s over I don’t want to wonder
    if I have made of my life something particular, and real.

    or full of argument.
    I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
    —Mary Oliver (b. 1935)

    Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life’s possibilities.
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
