Time Act

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 pleasuring seas,
    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)
