Famous quotes containing the words living and/or colossus:
“... probably all of the women in this book are working to make part of the same quilt to keep us from freezing to death in a world that grows harsher and bleaker—where male is the norm and the ideal human being is hard, violent and cold: a macho rock. Every woman who makes of her living something strong and good is sharing bread with us.”
—Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
“Milton, Madam, was a genius that could cut a Colossus from a rock; but he could not carve heads upon cherry-stones.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
