Betrayal and The Awakening

Famous quotes containing the words betrayal and/or awakening:

    “still a betrayal room for the till-death-do-us
    and yet a death, as in the unlocking of scissors

    even to cut each other up as we did yearly
    under the crayoned-in sun.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Women of all classes are awakening to the necessity of self-support, but few are willing to do the ordinary useful work for which they are fitted.”
