Tiny

Famous quotes containing the word tiny:

    My children cause me the most exquisite suffering of which I have any experience. It is the suffering of ambivalence: the murderous alternation between bitter resentment and raw-edged nerves, and blissful gratification and tenderness. Sometimes I seem to myself, in my feelings toward these tiny guiltless beings, a monster of selfishness and intolerance.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    A tree the span of two arms starts from a tiny seedling.
    —Chinese proverb.

    Lao-tzu.

    Death,
    I need my little addiction to you.
    I need that tiny voice who,
    even as I rise from the sea,
    all woman, all there,
    says kill me, kill me.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
