Waters Explained

Famous quotes containing the words waters and/or explained:

    Only one ship is seeking us a black- Sailed unfamiliar, towing at her back
    A huge and birdless silence. In her wake
    No waters breed or break.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    It is explained that all relationships require a little give and take. This is untrue. Any partnership demands that we give and give and give and at the last, as we flop into our graves exhausted, we are told that we didn’t give enough.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
