Tight Turns

Famous quotes containing the words tight and/or turns:

“Stiff springy jumps down the snowfields
Head held back, forefeet out,
Balls tight in a tough hair sack”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
