Famous quotes containing the words john m, john and/or lounge:

    The only true madness is loneliness,
    the monotonous voice in the skull
    that never stops
    because never heard.
    John Montague (b. 1929)

    His spiritual life has been exaggerated by a chronic attack of mental gallstones.
    —Oliver St. John Gogarty (1878–1957)

    I drink the five o’clock martinis
    and poke at this dry page like a rough
    goat. Fool! I fumble my lost childhood
    for a mother and lounge in sad stuff
    with love to catch and catch as catch can.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
