Famous quotes containing the words wound and/or edges:
“For this ignorance of me
Seems a kind of innocence.
Fast enough I shall wound it....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)
