Famous quotes containing the words smith and/or began:

    “For men tied fast to the absolute, bled of their differences, drained of their dreams by authoritarian leeches until nothing but pulp is left, become a massive, sick Thing whose sheer weight is used ruthlessly by ambitious men. Here is the real enemy of the people: our own selves dehumanized into “the masses.” And where is the David who can slay this giant?”
    —Lillian Smith (1897–1966)

    “The prince was getting tired.

    This time Cinderella fit into the shoe
    like a love letter into its envelope.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
