Famous quotes containing the words central and/or plain:

    “My solitaria
    Are the meditations of a central mind.
    I hear the motions of the spirit and the sound
    Of what is secret becomes, for me, a voice
    That is my own voice speaking in my ear.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “They say it’s worse to be ugly. I think it must only be different. If you’re pretty, you are subject to one set of assaults; if you’re plain you are subject to another.”
    —Alix Kates Shulman (b. 1932)
