Famous quotes containing the words exit and/or status:

    Exit the mental moonlight, exit lex,
    Rex and principium, exit the whole
    Shebang. Exeunt omnes. Here was prose
    More exquisite than any tumbling verse:
    A still new continent in which to dwell.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.
    Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
