Radio Mom

Famous quotes containing the words radio and/or mom:

    from above, thin squeaks of radio static,
    The captured fume of space foams in our ears—
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody’s mom in that she knows what’s best for us. But if you look at the historical record—Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages—you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
