Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or space:
“from deep in the dark head
his smile glowing
outward into the
room’s severe twilight,
he lies....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
