Knew

Famous quotes containing the word knew:

    every day they die
    Among us, those who were doing us some good,
    And knew it was never enough but
    Hoped to improve a little by living.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    All my life I’ve felt like somebody’s wife, or somebody’s mother or somebody’s daughter. Even all the time we were together, I never knew who I was. And that’s why I had to go away. And in California, I think I found myself.
    Robert Benton (b. 1932)

    My head gripped in bony vise
    of knees, the writhing struggle
    to wrench free, the blows, the fear
    worse than blows that hateful

    Words could bring, the face that I
    no longer knew or loved. . . .
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
