Famous quotes containing the words breast and/or pump:

    Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart
    Clumps in the breast with heavy stride;
    The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart,
    The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide.
    Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    My nurses, those starchy ghosts,
    hover over me for my lame hours
    and my lame days. The mechanics
    of the body pump for their tricks.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
