Famous quotes containing the words line and/or set:
“Men are not to be told anything they might find too painful; the secret depths of human nature, the sordid physicalities, might overwhelm or damage them. For instance, men often faint at the sight of their own blood, to which they are not accustomed. For this reason you should never stand behind one in the line at the Red Cross donor clinic.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
“Shes just a child,
but Im the one whos fainthearted.
Shes the woman,
but Im the coward.
She bears that high, swollen set of breasts,
but Im the one whos burdened.
The heavy hips are hers,
but Im unable to move.
Its a wonder
how clumsy Ive become
because of flaws
that shelter themselves
in another.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
