Famous quotes containing the words current, sources and/or sinks:

    It is not however, adulthood itself, but parenthood that forms the glass shroud of memory. For there is an interesting quirk in the memory of women. At 30, women see their adolescence quite clearly. At 30 a woman’s adolescence remains a facet fitting into her current self.... At 40, however, memories of adolescence are blurred.

    Terri Apter (20th century)

    The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Any man today who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.
    Bill Cosby (20th century)
