Famous quotes containing the word mouth:

    As long as the “woman’s work” that some men do is socially devalued, as long as it is defined as woman’s work, as long as it’s tacked onto a “regular” work day, men who share it are likely to develop the same jagged mouth and frazzled hair as the coffee-mug mom. The image of the new man is like the image of the supermom: it obscures the strain.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    his mouth redeemed
    His insufficient eyes, forever sad:
    In them there was no life-glimpse, good or bad,
    Nor joy nor passion in them ever gleamed;
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength
    because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the
    avenger.
    Bible: Hebrew Psalm VIII (l. VIII, 2)
