Quotes About Limbos

These were no-man's-lands, limbos of a sort, places where language did not prevail and the only protection was flight, if you could run fast enough; or submission if you couldn't.
~ Joyce Carol Oates
Terminé por encontrar sagrado el desorden de mi espíritu. Permanecía ocioso, presa de pesada fiebre: envidiaba la felicidad de las bestias —las orugas, que representan la inocencia de los limbos, los topos ¡el sueño de la virginidad!
~ Arthur Rimbaud
Souls which have fallen to the bottom of all possible misfortune, unhappy men lost in the lowest of those limbos at which no one any longer looks, the reproved of the law, feel the whole weight of this human society, so formidable for him who is without, so frightful for him who is beneath, resting upon their heads.
~ Victor Hugo
