Mouth Shut

Famous quotes containing the words mouth and/or shut:

    I want mother’s milk,
    that good sour soup.
    I want breasts singing like eggplants,
    and a mouth above making kisses.
    I want nipples like shy strawberries
    for I need to suck the sky.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    She has problems with separation; he has trouble with unity—problems that make themselves felt in our relationships with our children just as they do in our relations with each other. She pulls for connection; he pushes for separateness. She tends to feel shut out; he tends to feel overwhelmed and intruded upon. It’s one of the reasons why she turns so eagerly to children—especially when they’re very young.
    Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
