Middle Earth

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or earth:

    A person taking stock in middle age is like an artist or composer looking at an unfinished work; but whereas the composer and the painter can erase some of their past efforts, we cannot. We are stuck with what we have lived through. The trick is to finish it with a sense of design and a flourish rather than to patch up the holes or merely to add new patches to it.
    Harry S. Broudy (b. 1905)

    For Man is God
    and man is eating the earth up
    like a candy bar
    and not one of them can be left alone with the ocean
    for it is known he will gulp it all down.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
