Famous quotes containing the words wounded and/or children:
“Is not wounded vanity the mother of all tragedies?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
one surface from another, the savor
is the same to its tongue, the fluted
cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
a jubilance....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
