Permanent Status

Famous quotes containing the words permanent and/or status:

“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
