Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    No ... the real American has not yet arrived. He is only in the Crucible, I tell you—he will be the fusion of all races, perhaps the coming superman.
    Israel Zangwill (1864–1926)

    I heard among the solitary hills
    Low breathings coming after me,
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Most of us don’t have mothers who blazed a trail for us—at least, not all the way. Coming of age before or during the inception of the women’s movement, whether as working parents or homemakers, whether married or divorced, our mothers faced conundrums—what should they be? how should they act?—that became our uncertainties.
    Anne Roiphe (20th century)
