Famous quotes containing the words body and/or region:
““... And maybe we are all the same
Where no candles are,
And maybe we are all the same
That strip the body bare.”
O my dear, O my dear.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“When the excessively shy force themselves to be forward, they are frequently surprisingly unsubtle and overdirect and even rude: they have entered an extreme region beyond their normal personality, an area of social crime where gradations don’t count; unavailable to them are the instincts and taboos that booming extroverts, who know the territory of self-advancement far better, can rely on.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
