Gear Turns

Famous quotes containing the words gear and/or turns:

“For women ... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can’t possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman’s body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

“Even in the scorched and frozen world of the dead after the
holocaust
The wheel as it turns goes on accreting ornaments.”
—Robert Pinsky (b. 1940)
