Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or left:
“I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasn’t pleasure I was after, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think and novelists to see what I could get away with. And, in the end, I distilled everything down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.”
—Christopher Hampton (b. 1946)
“Everyone has left me
except my muse,
that good nurse.
She stays in my hand,
a mild white mouse.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
