Domestic Trunk Routes

Famous quotes containing the words domestic, trunk and/or routes:

    The immense majority of human biographies are a gray transit between domestic spasm and oblivion.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)

    That trunk of humors, that bolting-hutch of beastliness, that
    swollen parcel of dropsies, that huge bombard of sack, that
    stuffed cloak-bag of guts, that roasted Manningtree ox with
    the pudding in his belly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
