Wanted

Famous quotes containing the word wanted:

    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)

    it’s just that I see love as odd as wearing shoes—
    I never wanted to marry a girl who was like my mother
    And Ingrid Bergman was always impossible
    Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    If only the phantom would stop reappearing!
    Business, if you wanted to know, was punk at the opera.
    The heroine no longer appeared in Faust.
    The crowds strolled sadly away.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
