Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or graves:
“The essence of the physicality of the most famous blonde in the world is a wholesome eroticism blurred a little round the edges by the fact she is not quite sure what eroticism is. This gives her her tentative luminosity and what makes her, somehow, always more like her own image in the mirror than she is like herself.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
““Are you cold too, poor Pleiads,
This frosty night?”
“Yes, and so are the Hyads:
See us cuddle and hug,” says the Pleiads,
“All six in a ring: it keeps us warm:
We huddle together like birds in a storm:”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
