Twin Snakes

Famous quotes containing the words twin and/or snakes:

    We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Or driven wild
    by snakes that kept the carrots clean,
    she butchered snakes and carrots with a hoe.
    Richard Hugo (1923–1982)
