Famous quotes containing the words area and/or boundaries:

    “I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
    Sprouting despondently at area gates.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Women’s art, though created in solitude, wells up out of community. There is, clearly, both enormous hunger for the work thus being diffused, and an explosion of creative energy, bursting through the coercive choicelessness of the system on whose boundaries we are working.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
