Famous quotes containing the word lounge:

    “I drink the five o’clock martinis
    and poke at this dry page like a rough
    goat. Fool! I fumble my lost childhood
    for a mother and lounge in sad stuff
    with love to catch and catch as catch can.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “we are the circle of the crazy ladies
    who sit in the lounge of the mental house
    and smile at the smiling woman
    who passes us each a bell,”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
