Famous quotes containing the words york and/or fed:
“New York was a new and strange world. Vast, impersonal, merciless.... Always before I had felt like a person, an individual, hopeful that I could mold my life according to some desire of my own. But here in New York I was ignorant, insignificant, unimportant—one in millions whose destiny concerned no one. New York did not even know of my existence. Nor did it care.”
—Agnes Smedley (1890–1950)
“You went on with your dying.
Nothing could stop you. Not your son. Not your daughter
Who fed you and made you into a child again.”
—Mark Strand (b. 1934)
