Wind Waves

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or waves:

“and yet hands, hands growing out of pictures,
hands crawling out of the walls,
hands that excite oblivion,
like a wind ...”

“During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
