Thin Facing Layer

Famous quotes containing the words thin, facing and/or layer:

    Twilight and bulb define
    the brown room, the overstuffed plum sofa,
    the boy, and the girl’s thin hands above his head.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    You know all my life I’ve hated funerals. The fuss and bother never brings anybody back. It just spoils remembering them as they really are. And when I see people actually facing it that way, I have to act like a sap.
    Jules Furthman (1888–1960)

    This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there’s a layer of people who run everything. But we—we’re just peasants. We don’t understand what’s going on, and we can’t do anything.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
