Perceived Indian Aggression

Famous quotes containing the words perceived, indian and/or aggression:

    I have perceived much beauty

    Heard music in the silentness of duty;
    Found peace where shell-storms spouted reddest spate.

    In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women.... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: “the contemplation of ruins,” Erikson observes, “is a masculine specialty.”
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
