Famous quotes containing the words china and/or syndrome:

    “The roof of England fell
    Great Paris tolled her bell
    And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
    —Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
