Famous quotes containing the words red and/or wares:
“The red of her lower lip
kissed off by her lover at night
can be seen at dawn,
reflected in the eyes
of other wives.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“So much of the trouble is because I am a woman. To me it seems a very terrible thing to be a woman. There is one crown which perhaps is worth it all—a great love, a quiet home, and children. We all know that is all that is worthwhile, and yet we must peg away, showing off our wares on the market if we have money, or manufacturing careers for ourselves if we haven’t.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
