Coffin Removed

Famous quotes containing the words coffin and/or removed:

    “Ashtrays to cry into,
    the suffering brother of the wood walls,
    the forty-eight keys of the typewriter
    each an eyeball that is never shut,
    the books, each a contestant in a beauty contest,
    the black chair, a dog coffin made of Naugahyde....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “There are men from whom nature or some peculiar destiny has removed the cover beneath which we hide our own madness. They are like thin-skinned insects whose visible play of muscles seem to make them deformed, though in fact, everything soon turns to its normal shape again.”
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
