Famous quotes containing the words identity and/or cleansing:
“There is a terrible blindness in the love that wants only to accommodate. It’s not only to do with omissions and half-truths. It implants a lack of being in the speaker and robs the self of an identity without which it is impossible for one to grow close to another.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“This is not a psychotic episode. This is a cleansing moment of clarity.”
—Paddy Chayefsky (1923–1981)
