Snapping

Famous quotes containing the word snapping:

    “Man is not merely the sum of his masks. Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.... The self is malleable but elastic, snapping back to its original shape like a rubber band. Mental illness is no myth, as some have claimed. It is a disturbance in our sense of possession of a stable inner self that survives its personae.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “What a story. Everything but the bloodhounds snapping at her rear end.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)
