Trap Points

Famous quotes containing the words trap and/or points:

    The little lifting helplessness, the queer
    Whimper-whine; whose unridiculous
    Lost softness softly makes a trap for us.
    And makes a curse.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
