Called Updike

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or updike:

    He loved strange thought
    And knew that sweet extremity of pride
    That’s called platonic love,
    And that to such a pitch of passion wrought
    Nothing could bring him, when his lady died,
    Anodyne for his love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The essential self is innocent, and when it tastes its own innocence knows that it lives for ever.
    —John Updike (b. 1932)
