Famous quotes containing the words recorded, locked and/or grooves:

“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

“O little mother,
I am in my own mind.
I am locked in the wrong house.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“The evolution of a highly destined society must be moral; it must run in the grooves of the celestial wheels.”
