Famous quotes containing the words sinister and/or simian:
“Calm fell. From Heaven distilled a clemency;
There was peace on earth, and silence in the sky;
Some could, some could not, shake off misery:
The Sinister Spirit sneered: ‘It had to be!’
And again the Spirit of Pity whispered, ‘Why?’”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Time points the simian camera in the head
Upon confusion to be seen and seen.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
