Famous quotes containing the word unable:
“the small town big shot who, although very short,
who although with a cigarette-stained mustache,
who although famous for lobster on the rocks,
left me here, nubkin, sucking in my vodka
and emphysema cigarettes, unable to walk
your walks, unable to write your writes.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“compassion
turns in on itself
biting its tongue, unable to cry out
or give it a name.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
