Wick/people

Famous quotes containing the words wick and/or people:

“Writing is to descend like a miner to the depths of the mine with a lamp on your forehead, a light whose dubious brightness falsifies everything, whose wick is in permanent danger of explosion, whose blinking illumination in the coal dust exhausts and corrodes your eyes.”
—Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961)

“Isn’t it strange that its easier to be gentle with the feelings of people we care less about than those of our children, whom we love so much?”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
