Invisible Pink Unicorns

Famous quotes containing the words invisible, pink and/or unicorns:

    The caretaking has to be done. “Somebody’s got to be the mommy.” Individually, we underestimate this need, and as a society we make inadequate provision for it. Women take up the slack, making the need invisible as we step in to fill it.
    Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)

    Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

    Redeem
    The time. Redeem.
    The unread vision in the higher dream
    While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
