“The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.”
—Günther Grass (b. 1927)
“In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
—Bible: Hebrew Genesis 3:16.
