Be Sick

Famous quotes containing the word sick:

    “we want to remember when you were
    money in Massachusetts and yet were wild and rude
    and killers. We want our killers dressed in black
    like grease for we are sick of writing checks,
    putting on our socks and working in the little boxes
    we call the office.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
