Famous quotes containing the words fuel and/or weight:
“The particular source of frustration of women observing their own self-study and measuring their worth as women by the distance they kept from men necessitated that a distance be kept, and so what vindicated them also poured fuel on the furnace of their rage. One delight presumed another dissatisfaction, but their hatefulness confessed to their own lack of power to please. They hated men because they needed husbands, and they loathed the men they chased away for going.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“But I saw the little-Ant men as they ran
Carrying the worlds weight of the worlds filth
And the filth in the heart of Man
Compressed till those lusts and greeds had a greater heat
than that of the Sun.”
—Dame Edith Sitwell (18871964)
