Famous quotes containing the words center and/or yoke:

“I don’t think America’s the center of the world anymore. I think African women will lead the way [in] ... women’s liberation ...

She’s not afraid that if she speaks up, her man will say goodbye to her.”

“Ha, ha, my ship! thou mightiest well be taken now for the sea- chariot of the sun. Ho, ho! all ye nations before my prow, I bring the sun to ye! Yoke on the further billows ... I drive the sea!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
