Draw Pile

Famous quotes containing the words draw and/or pile:

    “It is dangerous for a woman to defy the gods;
    To taunt them with the tongue’s thin tip,
    Or strut in the weakness of mere humanity,
    Or draw a line daring them to cross;”
    —Anne Spencer (1882–1975)

    “Unable to create a meaningful life for itself, the personality takes its own revenge: from the lower depths comes a regressive form of spontaneity: raw animality forms a counterpoise to the meaningless stimuli and the vicarious life to which the ordinary man is conditioned. Getting spiritual nourishment from this chaos of events, sensations, and devious interpretations is the equivalent of trying to pick through a garbage pile for food.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
