Body Effect

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or effect:

    Poetry and music I have banished,
    But the stupidity
    Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
    Makes no demand.
    I bend my body to the spade
    Or grope with a dirty hand.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I guess what I’ve really discovered is the humanizing effect of children in my life—stretching me, humbling me. Maybe my thighs aren’t as thin as they used to be. Maybe my getaways aren’t as glamorous. Still I like the woman that motherhood has helped me to become.
    Susan Lapinski (20th century)
