Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or net:
“Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind’s throwing?”

“it was you untying the snarls and knots,
the webs, all bloody and gluey;
you with your twelve tongues and twelve wings
beating, wresting, beating, beating
your way out of childhood,
that airless net that fastened you down.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
