Famous quotes containing the words wing and/or detachment:
“the uncomfortable angels that rot
On the slabs, a wing chipped here, an arm there:
The brute curiosity of an angel’s stare
Turns you, like them, to stone....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too.”
