Relief Fragments

Famous quotes containing the words relief and/or fragments:

    The beginner’s well-known propensity for obtruding upon his own privacy, by introducing himself, or a vicar, into his first novel, owes less to the attraction of a ready theme than to the relief of getting rid of oneself, before going on to better things.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole.
    Derek Walcott (b. 1930)
