Elastic Demand

Famous quotes containing the words elastic and/or demand:

“bodies wrapped in elastic bands,
bodies cased in wood or used like telephones,

bodies wearing rubber bags between their legs,
bodies vomiting up their juice like detergent,
bodies smooth and bare as darning eggs.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“... the self respect of individuals ought to make them demand of their leaders conformity with an agreed-upon code of ethics and moral conduct.”
