Famous quotes containing the words main, event and/or spot:
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“The vanishing volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the Adamantine Record of the past.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My gowns were gorgeous, always low-cut, very décolleté. I wore hardly any makeup, just some lipsticks, that’s all. No lights. Just a baby spot. I wouldn’t have any entrance. They’d play the intro in the dark, and a spot would come on, and there I’d be.”
—Richard Brooks (1912–1992)
