Famous quotes containing the word created:
“Why, since man and woman were created for each other, had He made their desires so dissimilar? Why should one class of women be able to dwell in luxurious seclusion from the trials of life, while another class performed their loathsome tasks? Surely His wisdom had not decreed that one set of women should live in degradation and in the end should perish that others might live in security, preserve their frappeed chastity, and in the end be saved.”
—Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 10 (1919)
“Blue hampers . . . Explosions,
Ice . . . The ridiculous
Vases of porphyry. All that our youth
Can’t use, that it was created for.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“So let man consider of what he was created;
he was created of gushing water
issuing between the loins and the breast-bones.”
—Qur’An. The Night-Star, 86:5-7, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
