Famous quotes containing the word theme:

    “... passion for survival is the great theme of women’s poetry.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
    —C. John Sommerville (20th century)

    “Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.—A theme for a great poet would be God’s boredom on the seventh day of creation.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
