Green Loops

Famous quotes containing the words green and/or loops:

“The body dies; the body’s beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.”

“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
