Turns Sharply

Famous quotes containing the words turns and/or sharply:

    The pickings are pretty slim when you have to play the part of a housewife who doesn’t go out of her apartment because she’s afraid she’s going to get mugged, or a woman who turns into her brother, who is a murderer.
    Shirley MacLaine (b. 1934)

    The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
