Additional quotes by Philip Larkin

But superstition, like belief, must die...

Life and literature is a question of what one thrills to, and further than that no man shall ever go without putting his foot in a turd.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.

You can look out of your life like a train & see what you're heading for, but you can't stop the train. - Philip Larkin
