Conjure Woman

Famous quotes containing the words conjure and/or woman:

    My way is to conjure you, and I’ll begin with the women. I
    charge you, O women, for the love you bear to men, to like
    as much of this play as please you.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    How then can we account for the persistence of the myth that inside the empty nest lives a shattered and depressed shell of a woman—a woman in constant pain because her children no longer live under her roof? Is it possible that a notion so pervasive is, in fact, just a myth?
    Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
