Robinson

Famous quotes containing the word robinson:

    He never told us what he was,
    Or what mischance, or other cause,
    Had banished him from better days
    To play the Prince of Castaways.
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Where was he going, this man against the sky?
    You know not, nor do I.
    —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)
