Point Lock

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or lock:

“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“then take off your flesh,
unpick the lock of your bones.
In other words
take off the wall
that separates you from God.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
