Famous quotes containing the words tile and/or system:
“through the Sumner Tunnel,
trunk by trunk through its sulphurous walls,

—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
