Famous quotes containing the word kent:

    “Main Street was never the same. I read Gide and tried to
    translate Proust. Now nothing is real except French wine.
    For absurdity is reality, my loneliness unreal, my mind tired.
    And I shall die an old Parisian.”
    —Conrad Kent Rivers (1933–1968)
