Solitary Bees

Famous quotes containing the words solitary and/or bees:

    In this country, don’t forget, a habit is no damn private hell. There’s no solitary confinement outside of jail. A habit is hell for those you love. And in this country it’s the worst kind of hell for those who love you.
    Billie Holiday (1915–1959)

    Asking to die:
    “To die, dear God, before a scum of doubt
    Smear the whole universe, and smudge it out.”
    Meanwhile the bees fumbled among the flowers.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
