Brown Recluse

Famous quotes containing the words brown and/or recluse:

“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“The writer is either a practising recluse or a delinquent, guilt-ridden one; or both. Usually both.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
