Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or female:
“We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits,
A poets pen, all scorn, I should thus wrong;
For such despite they cast on female wits:
If what I do prove well, it wont advance,
Theyll say its stolen, or else it was by chance.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 16121672)
