Famous quotes containing the words evil and/or exists:
“None of them has
the sense of evil that I have,
evil that jaw breaker,
that word-wife.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“As her sons have seen her: the mother in patriarchy: controlling, erotic, castrating, heart-suffering, guilt-ridden, and guilt-provoking; a marble brow, a huge breast, an avid cave; between her legs snakes, swampgrass, or teeth; on her lap a helpless infant or a martyred son. She exists for one purpose: to bear and nourish the son.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
