Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or lines:
“Your stature is modelled
with straight tool-edge:
you are chiselled like rocks
that are eaten into by the sea.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“[Children] do not yet lie to themselves and therefore have not entered upon that important tacit agreement which marks admission into the adult world, to wit, that I will respect your lies if you will agree to let mine alone. That unwritten contract is one of the clear dividing lines between the world of childhood and the world of adulthood.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
