Famous quotes containing the words lai, power and/or station:

    The My Lai soldier lifts me up again and again
    and lowers me down with the other dead women and babies
    saying, It’s my job. It’s my job.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Power is not of a man. Wealth does not center in the person of the wealthy. Celebrity is not inherent in any personality. To be celebrated, to be wealthy, to have power requires access to major institutions.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
