Oral Arms

Famous quotes containing the words oral and/or arms:

“The Americans are violently oral.... That’s why in America the mother is all-important and the father has no position at all—isn’t respected in the least. Even the American passion for laxatives can be explained as an oral manifestation. They want to get rid of any unpleasantness taken in through the mouth.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

“... last night, to let you toss alone,
When from your arms I kept my cold desire.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
