Famous quotes containing the words river and/or systems:
“There are knives that glitter like altars
In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
“In all systems of theology the devil figures as a male person.... Yes, it is women who keep the church going.”
