Floating Man

Famous quotes containing the words floating and/or man:

    The man who, from the beginning of his life, has been bathed at length in the soft atmosphere of a woman, in the smell of her hands, of her bosom, of her knees, of her hair, of her supple and floating clothes, ... has contracted from this contact a tender skin and a distinct accent, a kind of androgyny without which the harshest and most masculine genius remains, as far as perfection in art is concerned, an incomplete being.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Like many other women, I could not understand why every man who changed a diaper has felt impelled, in recent years, to write a book about it.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
