Waters Explained

Famous quotes containing the words waters and/or explained:

    You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.
    Heraclitus (c. 535–475 B.C.)

    It was heady stuff, recognizing ourselves as an oppressed class, but the level of discussion was poor. We explained systemic discrimination, and men looked prettily confused and said: “But, I like women.”
    Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 2 (1980)
