Famous quotes containing the words erase and/or head:
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“I tied down time with a rope
but it came back.
Then
I put my head in a death bowl
and my eyes shut up like clams.
They didn’t come back.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
