Famous quotes containing the words paper, wrapped and/or cake:
“A playwright ... is ... the litmus paper of the arts. He’s got to be, because if he isn’t working on the same wave length as the audience, no one would know what in hell he was talking about. He is a kind of psychic journalist, even when he’s great.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Oh mother,
her in your lap,
as good as a bowlful of clouds,
I your greedy child
am given your breast,
the sea wrapped in skin.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
““It is such a beautiful day I had to write you a letter
From the tower, and to show I’m not mad:
I only slipped on the cake of soap of the air
And drowned in the bathtub of the world....””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
