Emphasis Spreading

Famous quotes containing the words emphasis and/or spreading:

“Coming to terms with the rhythms of women’s lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

“... less and less of luck, and more and more
Of failure spreading back up the arm
Earlier and earlier ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
