Famous quotes containing the words alexandrian and/or rite:
“A character is like an acrostic or Alexandrian stanza;—read it forward, backward, or across, it still spells the same thing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A woman can get marries and her life does change. And a man can get married and his life changes. But nothing changes life as dramatically as having a child. . . . In this country, it is a particular experience, a rite of passage, if you will, that is unsupported for the most part, and rather ignored. Somebody will send you a couple of presents for the baby, but people do not acknowledge the massive experience to the parents involved.”
—Dana Raphael (20th century)
