Passive Isolation

Famous quotes containing the words passive and/or isolation:

    We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until we move from the passive voice to the active voice—that is, until we have stopped saying “It got lost,” and say, “I lost it.”
    Sydney J. Harris (b. 1917)

    The one happiness is to shut one’s door upon a little room, with a table before one, and to create; to create life in that isolation from life.
