Famous quotes containing the words pat and/or gibson:
“Helen, Helen,
the kitchen is your dog
and you pat it
and love it
and keep it clean.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
