Famous quotes containing the words order of, order and/or battle:

    “My ideas are a curse.
    They spring from a radical discontent
    with the awful order of things.
    I play clown. I play carpenter. I play nurse.
    I play witch.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “All things being equal, I would choose a woman over a man in order to even the balance of power, to insinuate a different perspective into the process, to give young women something to shoot for and someone to look up to. But all things are rarely equal.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “I’m out of repair
    but you are tall in your battle dress
    and I must arrange for your journey.
    I was always a virgin,
    old and pitted.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
