Repair Nerves

Famous quotes containing the words repair and/or nerves:

    It is not difficult to deceive the first time, for the deceived possesses no antibodies; unvaccinated by suspicion, she overlooks latenesses, accepts absurd excuses, permits the flimsiest patchings to repair great rents in the quotidian.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    “My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
    Speak to me. Why do you never speak. Speak.
    What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
    I never know what are thinking. Think.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
