Famous quotes containing the word chronic:

    Adder-faced singularity
    Espouses a nailed-up childhood,
    Skin-disease pardons
    Soft horror of living,
    A gabble is forgiven
    By chronic solitude.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Or would interior time, that could delay
    The sentence chronic with the last assize,
    Start running backwards with its timely lies,
    I might have time to live the love I say....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    That’s the whole story of my life: frustration. It’s a chronic disease, and it’s incurable.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)
