Murray Winning

Famous quotes containing the words murray and/or winning:

    Strung out and spotty, you wriggle and sigh
    and kiss all the fellows and make them all die.
    —Les Murray (b. 1938)

    Most of our platitudes notwithstanding, self-deception remains the most difficult deception. The tricks that work on others count for nothing in that very well-lit back alley where one keeps assignations with oneself: no winning smiles will do here, no prettily drawn lists of good intentions.
    Joan Didion (b. 1934)
