Famous quotes containing the words difference and/or squares:

    “In everyone there sleeps
    A sense of life lived according to love.
    To some it means the difference they could make
    By loving others, but across most it sweeps
    As all they might have done had they been loved.
    That nothing cures.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “An afternoon of nurses and rumours;
    The provinces of his body revolted,
    The squares of his mind were empty,
    Silence invaded the suburbs,”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
