Red Wings Lost

Famous quotes containing the words red, wings and/or lost:

“All those girls
who wore the red shoes,
each boarded a train that would not stop.
Stations flew by like suitors and would not stop.
They all danced like trout on the hook.
They were played with.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Death,
you lie in my arms like a cherub,
as heavy as bread dough.
Your milky wings are as still as plastic.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Money itself isn’t lost or made, it’s simply transferred from one perception to another. This painting here. I bought it 10 years ago for 60 thousand dollars. I could sell it today for 600. The illusion has become real and the more real it becomes, the more desperately they want it.”
—Oliver Stone (b. 1946)
