Famous quotes containing the words replaced, windows and/or live:

    ... the girls who came at dawn
    To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
    The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
    Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Among a hundred windows shining
    dully in the vast side
    of greater-than-palace number such-and-such
    one burns
    these several years, each night
    as if the room within were aflame.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    When I was very young and first worked in Hollywood, the films had bred in me one sole ambition: to get away from them; to live in the great world outside movies; to meet people who created their own situations through living them; who ad-libbed their own dialogue; whose jokes were not the contrivance of some gag writer.
    Anita Loos (1888–1981)
