Night Strangler

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or strangler:

    At night thousands of names and slogans are outlined in neon, and searchlight beams often pierce the sky, perhaps announcing a motion picture premiere, perhaps the opening of a new hamburger stand.
    —For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    And within the house
    ashes are being stuffed into my marriage,
    fury is lapping the walls,
    dishes crack on the shelves,
    a strangler needs my throat,
    the daughter has ceased to eat anything....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
