Famous quotes containing the word rhythms:
“Our father presents an optional set of rhythms and responses for us to connect to. As a second home base, he makes it safer to roam. With him as an allya loveit is safer, too, to show that were mad when were mad at our mother. We can hate and not be abandoned, hate and still love.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“Her rhythms are reptilian and religious,
Choreographic and Polynesian.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“Coming to terms with the rhythms of womens lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.”
—Margaret Mead (19011978)
