Famous quotes containing the word shared:
“The danger lies in forgetting what we had. The flow between generations becomes a trickle, grandchildren tape-recording grandparents’ memories on special occasions perhaps—no casual storytelling jogged by daily life, there being no shared daily life what with migrations, exiles, diasporas, rendings, the search for work. Or there is a shared daily life riddled with holes of silence.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Common sense is judgment without reflection, shared by an entire class, an entire nation, or the entire human race.”
—Giambattista Vico (1688–1744)
“The cot we shared is almost a prison
where I can’t say buttercup, bobolink,
sugarduck, pumpkin, love ribbon, locket,
valentine, summergirl, funnygirl and all
those nonsense things one says in bed.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
