Famous quotes containing the words male and/or line:
“The word revolution itself has become not only a dead relic of Leftism, but a key to the deadendedness of male politics: the revolution of a wheel which returns in the end to the same place; the revolving door of a politics which has liberated women only to use them, and only within the limits of male tolerance.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse. Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of timeNone know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
