Ideal System

Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or system:

“blind wantons like the gulls who scream
And rip the edge off any ideal or dream.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

“Loving feels lonely in a violent world,
irrelevant to people burning like last year’s weed
with bellies distended, with fish throats agape
and flesh melting down to glue.
We can no longer shut out the screaming
That leaks through the ventilation system ...”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
