Famous quotes containing the words close and/or relationship:
““We, we children, why our lives are circumscribed, circumferential;
Close, too close to the center....””
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
