Invented

Famous quotes containing the word invented:

    Say what you will, making marriage work is a woman’s business. The institution was invented to do her homage; it was contrived for her protection. Unless she accepts it as such—as a beautiful, bountiful, but quite unequal association—the going will be hard indeed.
    Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)

    The modern queer was invented by Tennessee Williams. Brando in blue jeans, sneakers, white T-shirt and leather jacket. When you saw that, you knew they were available.
    Derek Jarman (b. 1942)

    If there were no poetry on any day in the world, poetry would be invented that day. For there would be an intolerable hunger.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
