Famous quotes containing the words mighty and/or fate:
“A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.”

“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea.

Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
