Famous quotes containing the words mighty and/or fate:
“Far from the sun and summer-gale
In thy green lap was Natures Darling laid,
What time, where lucid Avon strayd,
To him the mighty mother did unveil
Her awful face:”

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

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