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)

“As the tenor roars his passion, I think sadly of my spreading middle, and his.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
