Famous quotes containing the words spot and/or size:
“it was my birthday, and a candle
burnt a sore spot on my finger, and I was told to be happy,”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“Delusions that shrink to the size of a woman’s glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:
. . . the incessant recital
Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
Each one double-yolked with meaning and meaning’s rebuttal:
For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
