Famous quotes containing the words male and/or mouse:
“... probably all of the women in this book are working to make part of the same quilt to keep us from freezing to death in a world that grows harsher and bleaker—where male is the norm and the ideal human being is hard, violent and cold: a macho rock. Every woman who makes of her living something strong and good is sharing bread with us.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“When out an old mouse bolted in the wheats
With all her young ones hanging at her teats;”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
