Wound Edges

Famous quotes containing the words wound and/or edges:

    These lovers cry, O ho they die!
    Yet that which seems the wound to kill
    Doth turn O ho! to ha, ha, he!
    So dying love lives still.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
