Famous quotes containing the words beauty and/or myth:
“Their beauty has thickened.
Something is pushing them
To the side of their own lives.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“How then can we account for the persistence of the myth that inside the empty nest lives a shattered and depressed shell of a woman—a woman in constant pain because her children no longer live under her roof? Is it possible that a notion so pervasive is, in fact, just a myth?”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
