Pieces

Famous quotes containing the word pieces:

    I saw
    that from his lower lip
    if you could call it a lip—
    grim, wet, and weaponlike,
    hung five old pieces of fish-line,
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    I never had the sense of myself as an accomplished artist, and I always had to work three times as hard as anyone else to make my pieces as good as they could be. I am never completely satisfied. There always seems to be something just beyond my reach.
    Toshiko Takaezu (b. 1922)

    Joy has no cause:
    Though cut to pieces with a knife,
    Cannot keep silence. What else should magnetize
    Our drudging, hypocritical, ecstatic life?
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
