Letter "D" » Diane Ackerman Quotes
«Touch seems to be as essential as sunlight»
«A poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.»
«Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains...»
«Smell brings to mind... a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years.»
