Deep

Famous quotes containing the word deep:

    We plunge
    O dark river!
    towards each other
    into that element
    a deep fall,
    the eyes closing as if forever....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    How deep is our desire to do better than our mothers—to bring daughters into adulthood strong and fierce yet loving and gentle, adventurous and competitive but still nurturing and friendly, sweet yet sharp. We know as working women that we can’t quite have it all, but that hasn’t stopped us from wanting it all for them.
    Anne Roiphe (20th century)

    There is something wrong about the man who wants help. There is somewhere a deep defect, a want, in brief, a need, a crying need, somewhere about that man.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
