Masculine Singular

Famous quotes containing the words masculine and/or singular:

    “Women have a hard time of it in this world. They are oppressed by man-made laws, man-made social customs, masculine egoism, the delusion of masculine superiority. Their one comfort is the assurance that, even though it may be impossible to prevail against man, it is always possible to enslave and torture a man.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “though the fall cold

    surrounds our warm bed, and though
    by day we are singular and often lonely.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
