Thin People

Famous quotes containing the words thin and/or people:

“Lodgepole
coneseed waits for fire
And then thin forests of silver-grey.
in the void
a pine cone falls”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

“I waited alone, in the company of orchids, roses and violets who—like people waiting beside you, but to whom you are unknown—maintained a silence which their individuality of living things rendered more imposing and in their chilly manner received the heat from an incandescent coal fire, preciously placed behind a crystal glass, in a white marble tub where it dropped, from time to time, its dangerous rubies.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
