Coming

Famous quotes containing the word coming:

    Darkness
    as black as your eyelid,
    poketricks of stars,
    the yellow mouth,
    the smell of a stranger,
    dawn coming up ...
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Listen, Buster you and your quick-change acts aren’t going to hang orange blossoms all over me just because you feel the cold weather coming on. No thank you. I’ll go back where I can be honest without getting kicked around for it.
    John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)

    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)
