Organizing/history

Famous quotes containing the words organizing and/or history:

    “The lies fall like flaxen threads from the skies
    All over America, and the fact that some of them are true of course
    Doesn’t so much not matter as serve to justify
    The whole mad organizing force under the billows of correct delight.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)
