Red Cross Societies

Famous quotes containing the words red, cross and/or societies:

    O land and soil, red soil and sweet-gum tree,
    So scant of grass, so profligate of pines,
    Jean Toomer (1894–1967)

    To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.
    —Douglass Cross (b. 1920)

    All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysands to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defence. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
