Epstein Told

Famous quotes containing the words epstein and/or told:

    What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.
    —Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

    The first Day’s Night had come—
    And grateful that a thing
    So terrible—had been endured—
    I told my Soul to sing—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
