Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“I never let prejudice stop me from what I wanted to do in this life.”
—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)

“I want a revamped feminism. Putting the vamp back means the lady must be a tramp. My generation of the Sixties rebels wanted to smash the bourgeois codes that had become authoritarian totems of the Fifties.... Thirty years later, we’re still stuck with the [”nice” girl].”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
