Climbing Routes

Famous quotes containing the words climbing and/or routes:

    ... climbing the primordial climb,
    a dream within a dream,
    then sitting here
    holding a basket of fire.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
