Acrobat Elements

Famous quotes containing the words acrobat and/or elements:

    Most days I feel like an acrobat high above a crowd out of which my own parents, my in-laws, potential employers, phantoms of “other women who do it” and a thousand faceless eyes stare up.
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)

    In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
    With difficulty persist here and there on earth.
