Pattern Hung

Famous quotes containing the words pattern and/or hung:

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    His white head hung out like a carpet bag
    and his crotch turned blue as a blood blister,
    and Godfather death, as it is written,
    put a finger on his back
    for the big blackout,
    the big no.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
