Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or plot:
“Uncontradicting solitude
Supports me on its giant palm;
And like a sea-anemone
or simple snail, there cautiously
Unfolds, emerges, what I am.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
