Slow Fading

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or fading:

“Y’know Pete, back where I come from folks call that love stuff “quick poison” or “slow poison.” If it’s quick poison it hurts you all over real bad like a shock of electricity. But if it’s slow poison, well, it’s like a fever that aches in your bones for a thousand years.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)

“a little sight left in the corner
Of one eye fading seeing something wave lies believing
That she could have made it”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
