Famous quotes containing the words illicit and/or confronts:

—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“From the moment of birth, when the stone-age baby confronts the twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to these forces of violence, called love, as its mother and father have been, and their parents and their parents before them.
