Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or system:
“... pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts—not to hurt others.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Loving feels lonely in a violent world,
irrelevant to people burning like last year’s weed
with bellies distended, with fish throats agape
and flesh melting down to glue.
We can no longer shut out the screaming
That leaks through the ventilation system ...”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
