Famous quotes containing the words bear, paw and/or mountain:
“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)
“And I cannot find the place
Where his paw is the snare!
Little One! Oh, Little One!
I am searching everywhere!”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
“One who only sits idle and eats can exhaust a mountain of wealth.”
—Chinese proverb.
