Famous quotes containing the word rich:
“As her sons have seen her: the mother in patriarchy: controlling, erotic, castrating, heart-suffering, guilt-ridden, and guilt-provoking; a marble brow, a huge breast, an avid cave; between her legs snakes, swampgrass, or teeth; on her lap a helpless infant or a martyred son. She exists for one purpose: to bear and nourish the son.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Her gorgeous death-bed! her rich pyre
Burnt up with aromatic fire!”
—George Darley (1795–1846)
“The supposed unhappiness of the rich is always a cheerful topic of conversation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
