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)

    Existence itself does not feel horrible; it feels like an ecstasy, rather, which we have only to be still to experience.
    —John Updike (b. 1932)
