Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    And the Stranger will depart and return to the desert.
    O my soul, be prepared for the coming of the Stranger,
    Be prepared for him who knows how to ask questions.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    We’re too unseparate. And going home
    From company means coming to our senses.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Coming to terms with the rhythms of women’s lives means coming to terms with life itself, accepting the imperatives of the body rather than the imperatives of an artificial, man-made, perhaps transcendentally beautiful civilization. Emphasis on the male work-rhythm is an emphasis on infinite possibilities; emphasis on the female rhythms is an emphasis on a defined pattern, on limitation.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
