Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    his mouth redeemed
    His insufficient eyes, forever sad:
    In them there was no life-glimpse, good or bad,
    Nor joy nor passion in them ever gleamed;
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The movies were my textbooks for everything else in the world. When it wasn’t, I altered it. If I saw a college, I would see only cheerleaders or blonds. If I saw New York City, I would want to go to the slums I’d seen in the movies, where the tough kids played. If I went to Chicago, I’d want to see the brawling factories and the gangsters.
    —Jill Robinson (b. 1936)

    Are we no greater than the noise we make
    Along one blind atomic pilgrimage
    Whereon by crass chance billeted we go
    Because our brains and bones and cartilage
    Will have it so?
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
