Additional quotes by Philip Larkin

Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself.

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

- to start at a new place is always to feel incompetent & unwanted.
