Narrowly Missed

Famous quotes containing the words narrowly and/or missed:

    The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    The older woman’s love is not love of herself, nor of herself mirrored in a lover’s eyes, nor is it corrupted by need. It is a feeling of tenderness so still and deep and warm that it gilds every grassblade and blesses every fly. It includes the ones who have a claim on it, and a great deal else besides. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
