Famous quotes containing the words time and/or act:
“Once upon a time we were all born,
popped out like jelly rolls
forgetting our fishdom,

the country of comfort,
spanked into the oxygens of death....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Raising a daughter is an extremely political act in this culture. Mothers have been placed in a no-win situation with their daughters: if they teach their daughters simply how to get along in a world that has been shaped by men and male desires, then they betray their daughters’ potential But, if they do not, they leave their daughters adrift in a hostile world without survival strategies.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
