Tension Face

Famous quotes containing the words tension and/or face:

“Many people I know in Los Angeles believe that the Sixties ended abruptly on August 9, 1969, ended at the exact moment when word of the murders on Cielo Drive traveled like brushfire through the community, and in a sense this is true. The tension broke that day. The paranoia was fulfilled.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1935)

“On my face extended flat
I was walloped with a cat
For listening at the key-hole of the door.”
