Achieved Gold

Famous quotes containing the words achieved and/or gold:

    “A woman simply is, but a man must become. Masculinity is risky and elusive. It is achieved by a revolt from woman, and it is confirmed only by other men.... Manhood coerced into sensitivity is no manhood at all.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    “And the Goddess?
    She stands
    between the worlds.
    She is ivory,
    her breast bare, her bare arms
    braceleted with gold snakes.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
