Terrible

Famous quotes containing the word terrible:

    We see daily that our lives are terrible and little, without continuity, buyable and salable at any moment, mere blips on a screen, that this is the way we live now. Memory marketed as nostalgia; terror reduced to mere suspense, to melodrama.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    It’s a terrible thing to be alone—yes it is—it is—but don’t lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath—as terrible as you like—but a mask.
    Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)

    It is terrible to destroy a person’s picture of himself in the interests of truth or some other abstraction.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
