Lady Catherine De

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or catherine:

    A lady dying of diabetes
    Listened to the radio,
    Catching the lesser dithyrambs.
    So heaven collects its bleating lambs.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The caretaking has to be done. “Somebody’s got to be the mommy.” Individually, we underestimate this need, and as a society we make inadequate provision for it. Women take up the slack, making the need invisible as we step in to fill it.
    —Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)
