Major Green

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or green:

“Let’s just call what happened in the eighties the reclamation of motherhood . . . by women I knew and loved, hard-driving women with major careers who were after not just babies per se or motherhood per se, but after a reconciliation with their memories of their own mothers. So having a baby wasn’t just having a baby. It became a major healing.”
—Anne Taylor Fleming (20th century)

“The body dies; the body’s beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
