Automatic Knives

Famous quotes containing the words automatic and/or knives:

    The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.
    Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)

    I am the love killer,
    I am murdering the music we thought so special,
    that blazed between us, over and over.
    I am murdering me, where I kneeled at your kiss.
    I am pushing knives through the hands
    that created two into one.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
