Famous quotes containing the words total and/or dead:
“The word infant derives from Latin words meaning not yet speaking. It emphasizes what the child cannot do and reflects the babys total dependence on adults. The word toddler, however, demonstrates our change in perspective, for it focuses on the childs increased mobility and burgeoning independence.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“the whole sea become an entanglement of watery bodies
lost to the world bearing what they cannot hold. Broken,
beaten, desolate, reaching from the dead to be taken up
they cry out, failing, failing! their cries rising
in waves still as the skillful yachts pass over.”
—William Carlos Williams (18831963)
