Famous quotes containing the word raw:

    “We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life, and often find ourselves without experience, despite our years.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “the raw material of poetry in
    all its rawness and
    that which is on the other hand
    genuine, you are interested in poetry.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    “And we can get back to that raw state
    Of feeling, so long deemed
    Inconsequential and therefore appropriate to our later musings
    About religion, about migrations. What is restored
    Becomes stronger than the loss as it is remembered;
    Is a new, separate life of its own.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
