Famous quotes containing the words updike and/or wrote:

    It is not difficult to deceive the first time, for the deceived possesses no antibodies; unvaccinated by suspicion, she overlooks latenesses, accepts absurd excuses, permits the flimsiest patchings to repair great rents in the quotidian.

    That never wrote to Me—

    With tender Majesty.
