Famous quotes containing the words paxton and/or church:
“See, in the Navy, during the war, I got used to the idea that something might happen to me, I might not make it. Well, I also got used to the idea that my wife and children were safe at home, theyd be all right no matter what. But what I didnt reckon with was that in this, this kind of a monstrous war, something might happen to them, and not to me. Well it did, and I cant, I cant cope with it.”
—John Paxton (19111985)
“Isnt this your life? That ancient kiss
still burning out your eyes? Isnt this defeat
so accurate, the church bell simply seems
a pure announcement: ring and no one comes?”
—Richard Hugo (19231982)
