Famous quotes containing the words bear and/or island:

    “As her sons have seen her: the mother in patriarchy: controlling, erotic, castrating, heart-suffering, guilt-ridden, and guilt-provoking; a marble brow, a huge breast, an avid cave; between her legs snakes, swampgrass, or teeth; on her lap a helpless infant or a martyred son. She exists for one purpose: to bear and nourish the son.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    ““Our island home
    Is far beyond the wave;we will no longer roam.””
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
