Famous quotes containing the words pat and/or powers:
“Helen, Helen,

and you pat it
and love it
and keep it clean.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
