Secondary Pleasures

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or pleasures:

    Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.
    Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

    Of a couple
    who have grown together,
    sharing equally
    their pleasures and pains
    and whose love
    in time
    blooms fully,
    the one who dies lives on;
    the other one is dead.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
