Born Confused

Famous quotes containing the words born and/or confused:

    “Do you know how poetry started? I always think that it started when a cave boy came running back to the cave, through the tall grass, shouting as he ran, “Wolf, wolf,” and there was no wolf. His baboon-like parents, great sticklers for the truth, gave him a hiding, no doubt, but poetry had been born—the tall story had been born in the tall grass.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “My generation had Doris Day as a role model, then Gloria Steinem—then Princess Diana. We are the most confused generation.”
    —Erica Jong (b. 1942)
