Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or women:
“The man of genius, like a dog with a bone, or the slave who has swallowed a diamond, or a patient with the gravel, sits afar and retired, off the road, hangs out no sign of refreshment for man and beast, but says, by all possible hints and signs, I wish to be alone,—good-by,—fare-well. But the Landlord can afford to live without privacy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You make a toast for tomorrow
and smash the cup,
letting your false women lap the dish I had to fatten up.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
