Thin Double Layer

Famous quotes containing the words thin, double and/or layer:

    ... found myself
    myself, smaller,
    not thin but thinner, nervous,
    who hurries without animal calm.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    To be a woman and a writer
    is double mischief, for
    the world will slight her
    who slights “the servile house,” and who would rather
    make odes than beds.
    Dilys Laing (1906–1960)

    This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there’s a layer of people who run everything. But we—we’re just peasants. We don’t understand what’s going on, and we can’t do anything.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
