Began Offering

Famous quotes containing the words began and/or offering:

    Once we began to see our images
    Reflected in the mud and even dust,
    ‘Twas disillusion upon disillusion.
    We were lost piecemeal to the animals,
    Like people thrown out to delay the wolves.
    Nothing but fallibility was left us....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Frigidity is desire imagined by a woman who doesn’t desire the man offering himself to her. It’s the desire of a woman for a man who hasn’t yet come to her, whom she doesn’t yet know. She’s faithful to this stranger even before she belongs to him. Frigidity is the non-desire for whatever is not him.
    Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
