Lying

Famous quotes containing the word lying:

“Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet. Making contact with this Wild Man is the step the Eighties male or the Nineties male has yet to take. That bucketing-out process has yet to begin in our contemporary culture.”
—Robert Bly (b. 1926)

“The happiest part of a man’s life is what he passes lying awake in bed in the morning.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“Were you but lying cold and dead,
And lights were paling out of the West,
You would come hither, and bend your head,
And I would lay my head on your breast....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
